So, not the nicest of subjects but Ive been on Isotretinoin for just over 3 months now at 30mg per day.

im currently suffering from really hard stools which are causing quite a lot of bleeding when I got to the toilet. Its been off and on, but last few days have been pretty bad. My dermatologist said hes not come across this before but I can see online some people have suffered this.

im pretty close to coming of the drug as Im dreading going to the toilet at the moment due to how uncomfortable it is and obviously the blood.

wonderjng if anyone is experiencing this at the moment as well?

Well Accutane can cause severe dehydration. It could be your are severely constipated and it may of caused hemorrhoids or it could be something serious like IBD etc....You need to see your primary doctor or a gastric doctor. It is listed in the rx info that Accutane can cause a host of gastric problems.
