Hey,

 

I had been taking Accutane for 10 days (20 mg twice a day) prior to holding off today. Yesterday I noticed that my left side face muscles are working oddly.

 

I am not able to close the left eye not closing the right one at the same time. Also I can't close it (the left one) very tightly, while the right eye is working perfectly. Also, the left eye is quite reddish but that I know will fade away.

 

Moreover, the bottom lip tends to move very slightly to the right when I am speaking.

 

I am having a problem with my left side nose too. I am not able to move the vestibule part of it (I mean it does not grow when I am inbreathing the air).

 

I think I am done with this medicine for good. I am asking if have any of you had similar problems and if that will subside?

UPDATE: I think all the right parts are a bit swollen.

Please go to an emergency room or urgent care clinic. I don't mean to scare you, but these symptoms you are reporting are not typical accutane side effects and could be indicative of a very serious and acute medical condition. Please keep us posted! Thanks.

It's irrelevant to Accutane. I'll get well soon. Thanks for input :)
