okay, so i have been on accutane for 2 and a half monthsa and have been on my period for 2/3 weeks which is really weird cosidering they last 7-9 days (not normal ik but i have PCOS). i've also been getting like 2/3 nose bleeds per day, and have constantly felt tired and i don't want to get off the meds because they've really helped with my acne which i had for 7 years so i dont know whether of not i should go to the doctors to reduce my dosage or if its normal :/

You definitely need to go to the doctor. Just imagine what this drug is doing to you if it can make your body and mind react like this. You must read the PIL throughly and you should find that it says that you should report feeling tired. If a drug is effecting your period that is a very very bad thing.
