Hello! Im a new acne.org user and Ive come on here for some help! Two and a half months ago I started my first Curacne cycle at 30mg/day. My dermatologist lowered the dose to 20mg/day due to ramadan and now on my third month Ive upped my dosage to 40mg/day. As of recently,(approximately a week ago) Ive been experiencing an extreme shortness of breath and fatigue. Carrying a light object for a minute and walking with it or bending over to reach for an object leaves me totally exhausted. Is this due to the retinoid, and if so, is it concerning? Thanks in advance for your help!
Yes, it can. I am not sure if your from the US, however it does state that it can breathing problems, pleurisy etc....It could be from dehydration from Accutane or Accutane itself. You may want to let your doctor know and possibly go back to 20mg. Many have reported fatigue on it - Good Luck
