Hi everyone,

 

I am so worried right now because I have been experienced persistent headache and dizziness for over 1 week. The headache and dizziness are not severe; they are like mild to moderate at most. But I have been having them everyday and it seems to last all day long :( I'm super worried b/c I've read some horrible side effects including pseudotumor cerebri/ increased intracranial pressure T___T Beside mild headache (more like pressure) and a little dizzy, I don't have any visual or other symptoms at all.

Advil doesn't seem to help.

I've been on Accutane for 20 days, and yes, I do drink ~2L of water every day

 

Please, if anyone knows or has experienced something like this, let me know :( I really don't want to stop the drug, but I don't want to risk my health and life either :((

I think that you really need to talk to your doctor as soon as possible .

If you are not taking any other prescription medications or over the counter vitamins ,then I think that you pretty much know what is causing this problem.

Trust your gut instinct,it is always right,at least from my personal experience .

Accutane is a very serious drug,I understand that you really want clear skin, but at what cost. I don't think it's worth putting your health at risk.

Take care.
