accutane

Avatar n tn Regarding the surgery for fibroadenoma, I would suggest you to discuss it with your daughter’s surgeon. Accutane may increase the chances of post surgery keloid formation and so I would suggest you to discuss this point with your daughter’s surgeon. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Avatar f tn I have recently been experiencing headaches almost everyday and i’m wondering if I am not taking it with enough food, if I am not drinking enough water or if it is just a normal side effect. Pain reliever helps it but i’m wondering why I am getting headaches every single day.
Avatar f tn I believe I am pregnant: I had been taking accutane for several months during the month of may and june 2009 i had been forgetting to take the meds, i was taking them every other day. Around June 11, I took one than I forgot to take one until the 19th, which is the same day I think I got pregnant. I did not take any other pill after that, do you think this can harm my baby?
Avatar m tn I heard the effectivesnees of accutane is increased with a twice daily dosage. True? I will be taking 40mg a day, once a day. Would it be better to take 20 mg twice a day? Also, is it ok to take glucosamine for my joints while on accutane? Lastly, should I be getting a monthly blood test? Or any other precautionary measures?
Avatar n tn Anyone here get their Crohn's after taking Accutane for acne ? Apparently an association has been found and some lawsuits are being successful. I got my first symptoms about two months after finishing the drug cycle. Just curious if anyone else experienced this with Accutane ?
Avatar m tn My body fat went from around 15 % to under 8 % after taking accutane. I am extremely thin now and cannot put on weight on no matter how much I eat or what I eat. For example I can eat a whole tub of ice-cream and has no affect on my body. I have read about others have this issue also. Isotretinoin (accutane) obviously messed up something in my body so that it doesn't metabolize or absorb food the way it did pre-accutane. If anyone has any knowledge in this area plz respond. ty.
Avatar f tn Also, I I take 1 tablespoonful of flax seed oil twice a day with food to help with the dry eyes and inflammation and drink some aloe vera juice at night to help soothe my stomach when I sleep. I take 10mg to 20mg of melatonin at night to help me sleep. I would also felt adding olive oil or avocado to my diet has helped with the dryness and the fatigue associated with it. Now I'm able to cope and go about my daily routines without the pain and constant diarrhea associated with IBS.
Avatar n tn He has had terrible headaches, dizziness and mood swings after taking it. My question is can his taking Accutane cause birth defects if I was to get pregnant?" This is enough signs to STOP Taking ACCUTANE immediately The symptoms you mention are what butyl will cause and there is a butylated inert ingredient in Accutane http://www.valdezlink.com/inipol/pages/accutane_warnings.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am a 20 year old male and have been taking accutane (claravis) for about 5 months now. I am taking two 40mg pills twice a day... I have experienced a few annoying side effects but one of the major ones i have noticed is hair loss. I had very thick hair pre-accutane and i noticed hair-thnning lately and my hairline as also been receding. This is driving me crazy. Will this be a permanent side-effect or temporary and will my hair come back to its original hair-line.
Avatar n tn Steroid rosacea is possible. I suggest stopping all steroids, by cream or by mouth. Topical antibiotics like metronidazole may help. If you weren't on Accutane, oral doxycycline might be useful, but you can't take that while taking Accutane (which may itself help if you finish off the course and don't use steroids any more.) This rash may take some time to heal, but it should in the end go away completely. Milk and food have nothing to do with it that I can think of. Best. Dr.
Avatar f tn t think there is any correlation with ANA and Raynauds. I know the fun that everyone has with Raynauds and my oldest daughter is one of them. One day while she was sitting in class the cold are from the vent above her caused her to have a "flare up". The school nurse had to wrap her in a blanket and take her out side to sit in the sun to warm up and stop the pain it was causing.
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 Freshman year of college, I had no issues with these headaches anymore and felt great until I started taking 80mg accutane to treat my severe acne. The day after I started taking it, I went for a very short run (I was still a runner) and I noticed my endurance was completely gone. An hour after the run, I ate dinner and went to get some school work done and I started feeling incredibly hyper, then it felt like I was going crazy, my vision started getting hazy and I felt like I was high on weed.

954385 tn?1246410188 my girlfriend got pregnant 2 months after taking accutane. we dont want to have an abortion. and we were wondering what the chances were that the baby was ok. the box says that 1 month after you are off accutane it is out of your system. she is 15 and in athletics. she runs everyday and we were wondering if that sped up the amount of time in which the accutane got out of her system. can anyone help me? she got off at the end of january and we think she got pregnant at the end of may.
Avatar f tn I know this is an old post but can you tell me if the problems are solved for you now, and how? I'm feeling exact same way 3 years after being on accutane. I have gone to my doctors so many times and he can't find what is wrong with me, and doesn't believe that I have really bad pain. He also has absolutely no idea about the side effects of accutane. I'm only 22 and it feels like I'm 60 years in my body. This is so bad..
Avatar n tn I experienced bad headaches when I started Accutane but, along with some of the other sides effects such as muscle pain, they decreased as my body got used to the medication. For dry lips I recommend Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream, it is much better than Vaseline. Eloise.
Avatar m tn I am a 6'1 85 kg male who has been on accutane for 120 days (4 months). I started on 20 mg a day month 1, 40 mg month 2, and 60 mg months 3 and 4. 3 weeks ago I had my 1st eye infection of my entire life in my right eye so I went to an opthamalogist and he told me to stop taking the accutane for a week (which is what he says caused the infection) and put me on doxyclince hyclate 100mg twice a day and eurithromyocin gel to put on my eyelid that knocked the infection out.
Avatar m tn since when I was young I used this medicine for my acne and I searched in the internet many have the same story with me - I mean using Isotretinoin (Accutane) and then Proctitis or Ulcerative Colitis. what is your idea ?
Avatar m tn i was taking accutain a couple months before all my stomach problems started now going on 3 and a half years no finding chronic abdominal pain,gas bloating feeling og haveing to have a bowel movement please keep me updated
546892 tn?1214525401 Before begining treatment with Accutain, an individual should discuss about his condition with the health care provider for the possible accutane benefits and side effects in order to get it clear whether the treatment is right. Accutain is used in the treatment of the severest of acne cases which haven't responded to all other types of acne treatments.
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 Please, if you are reading this and contemplating taking accutane, I beg you not to. Living with back pain and torn cartilages is a lot worse than living with acne. I have an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon in one week regarding the torn labrum of acetabulum. I heard scary things about surgery, so I'm not planning on taking the risk. I took a risk with my health once, and that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I am now depressed because I feel alone and hopeless.
