hi! i was wondering if anyone has had any bad side effects from accutane?? i've noticed i have a loss of appetite and the other day i had a horrible stomach ache in the upper part of my stomach and by my chest area. it went away after 30 minutes or so, but i still had a dull ache the rest of the day. I was wondering if its dangerous to continue to use accutane? But i really don't know what to do because it seems to be working pretty good on my skin so far. i'm very confused and the whole situation is making me anxious which i'm sure doesn't help! haha

I'm currently on my second month of accutane. I've experienced the upper body pain you're talking about. I think that has to do with accutane being broken down in the liver. Other than that the only really bad side effects I get are tons of bloody noses and easy bruising.

The fact that it goes away after 30 min makes it sound like bad acid reflux from the medication. This can make your chest sore the rest of the day. Make sure you are taking your pills with a large fatty meal.
