wantingskinfreedom 0 Share Posted July 9, 2008 This happened to me sometimes, before starting Accutane, and now it still does. Some days I'll yawn all the time and they'll be BIG yawns..like I'm gasping for air kind of yawns. It's one of the reasons why we yawn in the first place; to get more air, to wake ourselves up, and because we're tired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siava 55 Share Posted July 9, 2008 If this has never happened to you before taking Accutane, but it's happening now, then yes...it's a side effect. Inform your dermatologist. Like you said, your health is more important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wrocky 14 Share Posted July 9, 2008 yeah i started to get this ~2months ago and i stopped Accutane, because of what you said, i dont want to experience that side effect, which really sux I have done multiple tests for heart, lungs and blood tests..all of them came back perfect. From what i have gathered it could be some kind of panic attack. They come when u least expect them and since we both were on accutane when this happened(Accutane messes with your brain and nerve system) maybe thats why they were so problematic and noticeable. I get them pretty much regularly when i am bored and have nothing to do, if i keep myself busy then i dont get them...i really hope its temporary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iamnotemo 6 Share Posted July 16, 2008 The same exact thing happened to me before I took accutane basically an anxiety attack type thing that happens when I am bored and have too much time to think maybe it was not the accutane but who knows it is probably better to be on the safe side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would watch carefully and if it ever happens again, consult your dermatologist. The breathlessness on accutane can no typically, but rarely be a sign of the throat closing in so it is very important for anyone experiencing this to get it looked at, or simply stop taking the medication.

I'm not sure if your male or female, but I do know that hormonal birth control can cause this also and that is not a good sign. I would for sure report this to your doctor.
