Unless you have severe, widespread, and scarring acne, The Regimen is normally my suggestion for the most effective acne treatment.

I've been on accutane for three days now, it seems like after the first day as soon as I take it i have to go to the bathroom really bad, it's like constipation and diarrhea at the same time, my stomach hurts from the gas. Should I call the doctor? Is anyone else dealing with this? Also my doctor isn't doing the monthly blood test for liver damage like it seems a lot of them do, should I get a new doctor?

Highly recommend liver testing through a blood sample. Not sure about the stomach upset, although a lot of people get ib from accutane, there might be someone you can take to combat that. Someone might be along soon to answer that question for you.

Make a point of getting a blood test at least every month.

It def sounds like something id be talking to my doctor about, certainly not ideal long term. X

I just thought for anyone having this same problem id update, after a few months it stopped. I had the blood test and nothing was wrong. My doctor didn't seem that concerned.
