Jordan,   Can you do me a favor next time you see that accutane doctor. Can you ask him what to do about the muscle pain that accutane can cause? The flushing is my main concern, but I also hav...

Jordan,   I don't know what you mean by tingling sensation. Mine is more of a tightness of the cheeks or stickyness, its hard to explain. My flushing does not progressively get worse throughout...

Lamarr,   How long do you have to take the mepacrine? Is it something that you have to take long term or will it eventually cure the flushing?

Halfpipe,   Thanks man. Yeah I am for sure going to try it if it works for you.   Jordan,   I wouldn't say exactly the same, but close enough...

Halfpipe,   Let me know how it goes if you try the anti milarial.

Jordan,   Yeah my skin is the best in the morning which I have gathered is common because we are more relaxed when we sleep. I wouldn't say that it progressively gets worse throughout the day as...

Sheefa,   I hope that I did not imply that the flushing is worse than joint pain. I obviously do not have joint pain to the extent that you do so my flushing is still my main concern. I'm sorry...

Hey Sheefa sorry to hear you still have the joint pain. I don't have the pain as bad as you do, but the pain in my rhomboid to neck region is pretty bad sometimes. To be perfectly honest the flushin...

If you never had flushed prior to starting accutane then yes its related to accutane. As I said earlier accutane stays in your skin a long time so there is no guarantee it will go away shortly after ...

Kleg,   If it was me I would stop immediately, but that is just my personal opinion. I think especially since you are upping the dose that it would be a mistake not to stop taking it. The highe...

Stellaranne,   Yeah it is unfortunate that we traded one problem for another. How has your flushing been since your post? Since you are just stopping accutane you have a good chance of having t...

Sheefa,   I'm sorry to hear that. It only seems to have affected my back. I wish I could tell you something that I have done that has helped it, but unfortunately I haven't had much success eit...

I've been lucky guys, no flushing here but absolutely agonising joint pain all over with no relief from usual supplements and therapies.   Interested in above suggested treatment for joint pain, ...

how is mepacrine working for you so far? i just have a question for you lamarr (& i haven't read this entire thread yet so, sorry if i missed this part)- did you notice facial flushing/rosacea DUR...

Hey Lamarr,   Sorry to hear that your flushing has gotten worse. I was wondering though how your elbow/knee were doing? I also wanted to ask you if you had any ideas of things to take in order ...

Lamarr,   Weightlifting increases my pain tenfold. Muscle use leaves me with pain (not soreness) that can last for days after the use. Its unfortunate too because that is something I really enj...

Am I the only one that has muscle pain from accutane? My back is really fucked up as it always hurts. If I lift weights or play sports, what not, I get much more soreness than I used to and it lasts...

Hoofy,   That's awesome man. I am happy for you and hope that I can be as fortunate. Do you still have dry skin from the accutane? When you say it has gotten tons better can you explain that m...

Happiness,   May I ask why you think it is not related? Have you always had a flushing problem or when did it begin? Did you get any of the temporary redness on your cheeks that accutane can le...

Happiness,   Were you on accutane?   Soul,   I guess I am probably flushing a similar amount of times as you. It all depends on the weather and the positions I am in if I have a good...

Soul,   I don't flush at night at all. Every morning I wake up with no flushing and just have some of the redness that can persist after using accutane which by itself is not something that both...

Hey I was hoping I could get a question answered about the Remeron/Clonidine type stuff. Last week my allergies started to act up and I took a zyrtec which I observed noticeably reduced my flushing s...

Hey Karyn,   I am sorry that your flushing has gotten worse again. The summer heat has definitely increased my flushing as well. One thing that I have had some success with is taking one ibupro...

Hey Karyn,   I am glad that you are getting better. With regards to the differin I would monitor that closely just to make sure that it doesn't aggravate the flushing, but yeah I think you shou...

Hey Soul I am not sure that I flush worse due to direct contact with the sun. I think I may actually be worse indoors at the same temparture, but yeah its bad either way. My recovery time has defini...
