bpwilliams 0 Share Posted October 1, 2004 I was on Accutane for about a 6 weeks. After about three weeks of using the product my face began to sting when I put the BP on. My face was feeling dry so I just used a moisturizer for the remaining three weeks and I wasn't getting any pimples. However, I began to get horrible chest pains whenever I stood up and I started getting blurred vision. These obviously were bad side effects, so I stopped taking the medication. Read the warning label and if you encountered any of the side effects it addresses contact your dermatologist immediately. Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
