Hi I've done a ton of searching and really only found basic information and nothing concrete.

Anyways I've been on 40mg Amnesteem for A month now. And I've noticed I've started to get some heartburn and some stomach pain. I would assume I shouldn't have acid reflux considering I've had my gallbladder removed a couple years ago. So I hardly produce bile anyways.

But fastforward to now, last week I there was a day where I didn't eat very much and went to bed on an empty stomach and vomited twice at 4am and 5am. Just bile.

Is this caused by the accutane? I've recently been prescribed dextroamphetames 20mg as well. And it feels a lot worse on that. But from what I've researched stimulants usually just amplify an existing issue like acid reflux, not create it.

Hi, I've had my derm appointment a few days ago and my doc doesn't think that accutane is the cause of this issue and bumped me to 80mg now. I still do really feel like it's because of the accutane though...
