Hi-

 

You are on a pretty low dose, so I wouldn't expect you to notice many side effects. That being said, brain fog and fatigue are known to happen with higher doses of accutane, perhaps it happens at low doses too sometimes? I had a bit of brain fog, caffeine definitely helped to some extent. I also had some muscle cramping at night while I took accutane - magnesium helped a bit with this too. Taking Omega 3 certainly wouldn't hurt you but I am not sure how it would help your side effects exactly. I think good old fashion caffeine, extra sleep and stretching before bed will alleviate it. In my case, those side effects went away after I stopped my course.

hey thx for the input

 

i am in a low dose but its my second plus i lost a lot of weight since my first course so ,,,,,,yeah im trying a new thing that may work

 

i noticed that ever since i started taking the drug in the morning these side effects started so im gonna switch back to take it before bed

 

other than this i had the usal dry lips and face and not even dry hair
