accutane

Avatar m tn from the accutane (had trouble getting my prescription renewed) and has continued to get worse despite being off accutane. Anyone have any idea what might be happening to me?
Avatar n tn I will ask my dermatologist at my next appointment but I was hoping to hear what experience other migraine sufferers ( that require prescription pain relief) have had with Accutane or any of the generics.
Avatar m tn A big handful of patients have also claimed little or no growth at all after completing their prescription for accutane. It is also quoted on wikipedia, that isotretinoin acutally promotes stunted growth.
Avatar f tn I have a 17 year old son who continues to have moderate acne despite several trips to the dermatologist. We have tried several prescription medications with no relief. He has been on a course of antibiotics as well as many topical creams. We have also tried ProActiv w/ no relief. I DO NOT want to put my son on Accutane. Can anyone offer any advise?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know about the scarring after-effects of accutane? I've read several reports of scarring left after it's use. I'm sure that scars are to be expected, as with any open wound, but I don't know if these reports are by anyone with abnormalities with healing/scarring. Here is the situation... I have mild, maybe slightly moderate acne. I get keloids on other parts of my body, but thankfully not my face. I still get abnormal facial scarring though.
Avatar f tn I just found out I'm pregnant and have no choice but to terminate the pregnancy because I've been taking Accutane. Do I need to stop taking Accutane in order to have the termination? Is it safe to continue with treatment following the termination?
Avatar n tn By all means discuss this with your dermatologist and share your frustration. There are other options besides Accutane. If you do take Accutane, you will need regular blood tests to check your liver and your cholesterol and triglycerides. You will also need to register with the Federal iPledge program, or else no pharmacy can dispense the medication. When Accutane is given for the kind of acne you say you have, it may clear things up, only to have the acne return several months later.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have recently found out I am pregnant, I was taking accutane last year from january until june and have not taken it since. I am a bit worried about the affects of taking accutane since finding out i am pregnant. At the time of taking it I had to use 2 types of contraception and have a pregnancy test every time I was given my next prescription. I was told to continue using 2 types of contracption 1 month after stopping taking accutane.
Avatar n tn As usual, the antibiotics and retin-a did not do anything to treat my acne problems, so I have begun a new course of Accutane. Immediately after staring the Accutane, I noticed the tiny bumps under my eyes were lessening. After a month they were completely gone. Now, my dermatologist is second guessing her diagnosis of syringoma for she does not think they would go away so quickly with the Accutane. She now thinks they were just cysts. What do you think?
Avatar n tn t want to scrub the area, use gentle fragrance free cleanser and gently wash the area. Scrubbing makes it worse. Here we have Accutane, clinidamycin topical, and other drugs. I also used neutorgena face wash then at bed salicylic acid gel or topical. You can use OXY 5 or 10 cream. I'm sure others will have plenty more to help you with. You can order on line except Accutane and Clindamycin require a prescription. There are some other new products I haven't tried.
Avatar n tn It really can mess with your head, but everyone is different, especially it seems, with accutane. Moreover, no, I don't think my side effects were a result of my teen and college years of experimenting. Though that could be argued, the fact remains that I have not had any similar episodes since my treatment, and had none before.
Avatar n tn This Med help isn't very helpful. I posted this 3yrs ago, and haven't had any replies. Doctor says "no" to Hiperhydrosis, cut out wheat for a while, tried all topical ointments, anti-antiperspirants, alcohol, thyroid checked, dermatologist was lame,>direct prescription for accutane, which isn't going to happen, and still seem to get oeveheated and sweat for no reason. Good luck to anyone trying to stay away from prescriptions.
Avatar f tn It has been a year of bad breakouts, oily skin, not limited to my face but also my chest and back as well. My dermatologist has given me a prescription for Doxycycline as well as Epiduo Gel, which was not covered by my insurance and so i was not able to get that. It seems to me that there are some similarities between this antibiotic and Accutane. Maybe not as severe side effects but the overall impression I am getting is that Accutane is more effective and if closely monitored, safer.
Avatar n tn The reason my vision was corrected to only 20/25 in the left eye initially was because if my eyes were corrected both to 20/20, my dominant eye would switch from right to left and then I would need a stronger prescription in the right eye. So to prevent this switch and eating up prescription changes, my left eye is a little blurry to keep the dominant eye my right eye. Well, since the detachment, my vision is 20/30 in that eye, Also since the detachment, I have a lot of problems driving.

Avatar n tn No other illnesses, no family or personal history of skin disorders, in good shape, excellent diet. Due to the nature of my symptoms, the SD has a very negative impact on my life. I beg you, help me!!
Avatar f tn I have been suffering for the last 2 months about this problem, it started when I stopped taking Accutane; it seems that after my skin is exposed to water, such as swimming or bathing, my skin starts to have this prickly, itchy, burning sensation only on my arms and legs that lasts from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. The oddest thing is that I dont see any visible rash nor redness or any signs of irritation.
Avatar m tn t want to keep having this happen to me and I stopped the accutane. Even after a month no accutane though, I had a period of two weeks of extreme tiredness/mild headache that promptly went away after a night of heavy drinking and booting my guts out. Fall of sophomore year, I felt fine except for one day, when I woke up with the tiredness/mild headache and I drank a lot that night, threw up and felt fine the next day. Acne was getting bad so I decided I would take the accutane for real.

Avatar n tn I’m dealing with the same issue. I took accutane about 3 years ago for acne and I have unfortunately had to deal with cluster headaches since. I get them around the fall and have them for 3/4 months then they go away. But it is excruciating pain and I’m convinced the accutane caused this even though I haven’t been on it in 2 years. Help.
Avatar f tn I regularly see a dermatologist for my acne and am currently taking my second course of accutane (I am in my second week on 40mg of Amnesteem). When I saw my dermatologist 2 weeks ago to get my accutane prescription I asked her about the dryness around my nose that had been there nearly a month and would not go away despite my cetaphyl and aquafor moisturizing attempts.
Avatar n tn I am 20 years old I was using accutane for 6 months, I was supposed to have a small surgery in my pelvis while on the drug but my doctor told me to wait and he explained that no surgery should be performed because the drug does indeed interfere with wound healing in fact he recommended to get the surgery 6 months after I have been off the drug but you should definitely ask her doctor/surgeon about it and get a better opinion ...wish you and your daughter the best.
Avatar m tn (for around 3 month ) From the time a give up till now is around 2 year and I never ever faced any symptoms of Proctitis ( no bleeding - no mucus- no discharge , no diarrhea ) I should also add that during this time I controlled my stress and especially controlled my diet ( sugar- chocolate- milk- yoghourt and ...
Avatar m tn weight loss ( I was up to 160 right before accutane, lost 20-25 pounds in less than 2 months right after I stopped accutane, and am down to 120 currently) I feel like I have no muscle or fat on me. I'm always hungry but I can't gain a pound.
