Headaches, Heel Pain, Blurry Vision; Should I Stop Taking Accutane?

I have been taking accutane for almost 2 months now. First 2 weeks i experienced a mild headche but it went away with Tylenol, then i was good until i got my second month of the medication. I started having the headaches again as well as heel pain that lasts all day long, also had blurry vision once. The headaches stayed for another 10 days. I feel fine for the past 4 days, but today e experienced ringing in the right ear, it lasted for 3 seconds. I'm worried... Is it normal or should i quit?
