I've been on claravis 60mg for 5 months now I weight 175 pounds. I don't know if I should stop it before causes me damages. Since the second month I been getting rash like skin spots on my face. I was given Synalar by my doctor but I am still experiencing this. My eyes are really dry and sometimes get blurry. But what really scared me was having blood in my stool. I am going to see the dermatologist tomorrow should I tell her not to give me the next month supply or are these side effects temporary. Is 5 month enough for accutane to take effect on my acne?. During the end of the 4th month I lost my monthly supply for 5th month and had to wait 20 days for my insurance to get it. Will missing 20 days affect my overall accutane treatment?

You should definitely go see your doctor!!!! Especially because you're seeing blood in your stool (one of the possible side effects of accutane = ibs. your dermatologist should know what to do

The blood on stool only happened once. Probably from constipation. I talked to my dermatologist and she said that if it happens again to stop taking it.

I had to stop taking accutane on 5 th month because I am developing a skin condition not sure if it is dermatitis or psoriasis.I have to constantly put moisturizer on my face 24 hours If I don't I get red spots and sometimes they itch. Will 5 months of 60mg of claravis be enough to stop my cystic acne?.
