So I've been taking accutane for about 2 months now. I've only had a couple symptoms like back pain, nose bleeds, and dry lips qnd eyes. And my Visionhas been kinda wonky don't really know if that's connect to me taking this medication anyways I've been drinking tons of water. And yesterday it got pretty hot out and I took a walk. I surprisingly didn't get sunburned but I got a wicked head ache when I got home so I downed a lot of water and went to bed. Woke out my head still hurt and now it's worse! just need some advice on what any of you think is going on.

Girl everything that you are describing I experienced on isotetronoin (accutane). These health effects plus minor depression encouraged me to get off of accutane as soon as possible and never take another cycle. My dermatologist wanted me to take it again after months of my body deteriorating. Hydration is important along with rest and healthy eating but these symptoms Probably won't go away completely. I would reccomend that you talk to your dermatologist about your symptoms and if they don't show proper concern then talk to your primary care physician instead. For me constant nosebleeds, headaches, dizziness & emotional distress was not worth the hope of clear skin. I did complete my first round but I did not do a second even though it was reccomend we to me. Put your health before beauty because at the end of the day if your body is destroyed then the clearer skin isn't worth it. Also remember that if you are beautiful inside that you are more beautiful than any perfect skinned girl with an ugly soul.

Great advise - the very serious side can effects van be permanent .
