hanging by a moment 0 Posted October 12, 2006 yes, how long ago did you start? i was really thirsty for the first few weeks but then it went back to normal. just drink a lot of water. i started almost a month ago. i've been trying to drink water but no matter what i do i'm extremely thirsty like two minutes later. right now that's my only side effect other than slightly dry skin and lips so i'm not really complaining at all. i'm just glad i'm not alone. by the way. your anecdote under your pic where it says "my mom thinks i'm handsome" that made me smile cause when my acne was at it's worst and i felt horrible and didn't want to leave the house...my dad was like..."stephanie, i think you're beautiful" yay for parents. :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beentheredonethat 6 Posted October 13, 2006 You should discuss it with your doctor. Accutane does dry you out and you need more water, but extreme thirst can be a sign of a blood sugar problem which Accutane can cause in rare cases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hanging by a moment 0 Posted October 13, 2006 hmmm...i had blood sugar problems when i was younger. maybe it's enhancing it. it was never anything serious in my case but i'll def. discuss it with him the next visit. thanks btdt! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
