Jamielove21 0 Posted June 29, 2008 I've been on accutane a week. Im REALLY REALLY tired. Like exhausted. I go to bed early and sleep well, but I still always feel tired. Has anyone ever felt like this?? I've been taking a low dose of Iron, fish oil, and vitamin C. I can't remember if this is a side affect of accutane. Any other supplements that I could take to help?? Thanks!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Da Foxx 0 Posted June 29, 2008 I actually feel pretty tired right now and I got a fair amount of sleep too. Maybe its the heat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonboystyle 3 Posted June 29, 2008 I felt absolutely tired, particularity towards the end of my course. No idea if it was caused by the iso but seems likely. Get all the sleep you can and napping helped me! I felt absolutely tired, particularity towards the end of my course. No idea if it was caused by the iso but seems likely.

sid99 1 Posted June 29, 2008 im in my 3rd week and since I started i've been having to nap in the afternoon when I can. I feel fresh as soon as I wake up in the mornings but then shortly maybe 2 hrs later I will feel like sleeping again, its tough as I have exams in the summer to prepare and im really struggling to concentrate!

Sean123 0 Posted June 30, 2008 When i was on tane i would be tired all day. I would fall asleep in class all the time. I would literally not be able to get out of bed sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenny 0 Posted July 1, 2008 Yes, this is a side effect of iso. As strange as it sounds, exercise seems to help. I know some other people have recommended a nap, but getting a little exercise seems to perk me up. To each their own! I hope you find what works for you.

alex419 0 Posted July 1, 2008 When I first started tane I was really tired, but then for some reason I'm not as tired now three months in. Could've had to do with school and final exams and all that. And yeah, I agree, exercise does help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
