Avatar m tn For back pain and other side effects of Accutane, people have found the supplements to take to counteract these side effects: Here are some posts from the internet: "Anyway, the maintenance dose works, but after a year and a half of taking Accutane I was becoming less tolerant of the side effects of even a maintenance dose (headaches, excessive dryness, etc.). Well, I have managed to combat the headaches and excessive dryness by increasing my Vitamin E intake from 400-800 I.U.
Avatar m tn For the past few months, I've been losing a lot of eyebrow hair. In the beginning, it was only a few hairs which I thought was completely normal but I began to notice that as the months went by, I was losing a lot of hairs at the same time on both my eyebrows, every single day. Lately, my brows have also been itchy and the skin on my eyebrows have been so so flakey which leads to more hair loss.

Avatar n tn So I wouldnt take any vitamins with Vitamin A in it, but you can still eat oranges and have orange juice just remember accutane already has a lot of vitamin a in it. You are fine to still take it, thats what your doctor prescribed so I'm sure they thought that was best.
Avatar m tn As per my blood tests my all values like TSH, T3 , T4 are fine. I don't know all looks fine on papers. This is why dr don't want to treat me.Even if they want , I will be hesitant to take it. I am managing my life with VitD3. This is miracle Vitamin. through this post I want to let people know that they should stay away from all 5 alpha reductase whether synthetic (accutane, finasteride) or herbal like saw palmetto. These thing are poisons, worse than rattlesnake venom.
Avatar m tn The second possibility to be ruled out is of vitamin D deficiency. Symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, depression, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry, coarse hair and skin, constipation ,muscle cramps, decreased concentration, vague aches and pains, palpitation and swelling of the legs. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn I started taking medicine and went for Vitamin D test .Vitamin D level was normal .Then I consulted Rhemotologist he advised me to continue with sandocal with vitamin D3 . I am taking Sandocal with vitamin D3 since last 64 days but still I haivng pain in muscles and bones and swelling in fingers. Pain is very cronic before periods. Please suggest me that pain is only due to high PTH and I am taking right medication or it is due to high anti ccp and high rhemotoid factor.
Avatar m tn Other necessary precautions are to avoid exposure to UV rays, avoid too much alcohol, and not to take tetracycline antibiotics whilst on Accutane or for 5 weeks afterwards. Female Accutane patients must use two forms of contraception whilst on Accutane and for 5 weeks afterwards. Male patients do not need to abstain from unprotected sex but must not donate blood in case it is given to a pregnant women.
Avatar m tn Have had melasma for the past couple of years. Just started accutane 40 mg and wondering if there's anything I can use to help treat a stubborn spot on my forehead. Seems like its getting darker since I have started the pills. Already use a physical spf50 cream everyday. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn She recently (2 weeks ago) started taking a low dose of accutane every other day and noticed her face and scalp began to itch and flake. She is now concerned about her hair thinning and even being lost, claiming that it has at least begun to thin. My question: Is there a strong correlation between hair thinning/loss with accutane patients? Should she be concerned about permanent hair loss? If her hair is thinning, is this permanent as well or temporary?
Avatar n tn I've a terrible breakout after having methylprednisolone IV treatment for MS. I'm currently on gabapentin, methylcobal and a vitamin B pill. I'm considering taking accutane for treatment of the acne proble s but would like to know if there are any negative effects between the medications.
Avatar n tn I know that ProActive is a good one, tends to dry out your skin though. I took Accutane way back in the day, don't even know if they still have that on the market, it helped so much. I have heard that high doses of Vitamin D also help, I have heard that, haven't tried it. Ask your doctor first.
Avatar n tn I am a 27 year old male. I have taken accutane 3 times, ,when I was 15,17 and 20. I have tried every topical treatment out there and nothing seems to work. I really only get it around the chin and mouth area. I have read about taking Vitamin B5...I am wondering if you know anything about this and if it is safe? And if not, do you have any recommendations for somthing that may work. I have tried cutting out dairy and I would try cutting out caffeine but I am a coffee drinker so its rough.
Avatar f tn My reason for acne was hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone is needed to convert beta carotene to vitamin A. Accutane is isotretinoin (closely related to vitamin A). Primary Raynaud's phenomenon is not associated with other diseases. Secondary Raynaud's phenomenon is due to an underlying cause, especially connective tissues disorders.
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 f tn I was on accutane when I was a teenager, I am now 26 and have been acne free for years. Sudenly I started to break out again. Does accutane stop working years after taking it? Can I take it again?
Avatar f tn I was tested and had a low, but not detrimental, number count on my vitamin D score. Is there a supplement I can take that will help with all this dryness? I can't bathe in creams any longer. They don't work, most stink and I wanna to work from the inside. Any suggestions?

Avatar m tn I am also a former user of accutane (but many years ago). Though not as potent, I continue to use vitamin A capsules on a daily basis to assist with clear skin. Good luck!
Avatar n tn Some people will experience mild side effects, while others will experience devastating side effects. Isotretinoin (Accutane) is a retinoid which is a derivative of Vitamin A. Taking a full course of Isotretinoin is basically like taking an overdose of Vitamin A. An overdose of vitamin A, or vitamin A poisoning, is also known as Hypervitaminosis A. Hypervitaminosis A can also be experienced from eating the liver of certain animals, for example the polar bear.
Avatar n tn My 16 1/2 year old son has been on Accutane (60mg per day) for 2 months. His blood tests show liver function is great and triglycerides have stayed low. I am worried, however, about his complaints with joint pain. He recently had x rays and an MRI done on his right knee (which was an issue b4 the accutane) and then got relief for that knee when it was drained of excess fluid. He complains that he feels like an old man, something is always hurting.
Avatar f tn Can I ask why you are taking accutane? Its Vitamin A supplement, right? If this correct, then you could have PTC? IIH from it. It is a know trigger for this illness. If, I can be any further help, drop me a line. I have IIH. (That's its more up to date, world wise recognised name) It stands for Idiopathic Intracranial hypertension. Best of luck.
Avatar n tn I am about to start taking Accutane. I can't tell you how nervous I am. I have read so many terrible stories. None of them even matter to me as much as the two I heard relating to birth defects YEARS after the mother had taken ACCUTANE. I have read tons about NOT getting pregnant while on the medicine, that I understand. However having children is my soul purpose in life and I will absolutely not go on this drug if it will cause birth defects AFTER being off it.
5143317 tn?1383747820 I had my vitamin d tested about 2 months ago and my level was 36ng/l with a range of 30-100. I've been having crazy hypothyroid like symptoms for months. Weight gain, inability to lose weight, depression, mood swings, inability to control my emotions, low sex drive, dry skin, not sleeping good, etc. Could the low end vitamin D be causing the symptoms? I've had cortisol, various hormones and all thyroid tests, everything is normal.
Avatar f tn My vet said that my male dog which has not been neutered should take Vitamin D to keep him from having seizures. Is this dangerous?
