I have been taking accutane for about nine months now and have had the normal side effects like dry lips and dry skin but i woke up today with a unbearable headache,which has not gone away all day.I thought it may be another reason for the headaches but then realised it may be due to accutane

Any tips on medication i should take and should i see a doctor

And i have been taking 60mg for the last six months

I don't know if you should see a doctor or not, but I can tell you that I got an absolutely horrible headache when I started taking accutane. It wouldn't go away on its own so I took a large dose of ibuprofen, and it seemed to clear it up. I'd say that if it doesn't go away, you should go to the doctor, especially since there is a small chance of having increased intracranial pressure with accutane.

Is a 9 month or longer course normal? The literature I've read after visiting with my doc says generally a maximum of 20 weeks for a course with an equal or longer break in between a second course if needed.

What is your cumulative dose so far?
