Ive had one course of accutane- worked great for two years now its back whats the level of relapse the first time vs second time (is it lower second time) and whats the percentage of people who need a 3rd round of treatment. I also suffer with headaches can accutane treatment permanently give you headaches even after you stop treatment? Also triptan and accutane you cant take together?
I have been taking Accutane for about a week now. I have been having headaches a lot recently which is not entirely normal for me. However, I also noticed I started getting headaches BEFORE I started the Accutane. I also had a nasty virus the past week which caused me to get a fever, cough, and congestion. The headaches could be due to still getting over this or a mix of everything (and allergies). I am just wondering if I should be worried if this is due to the Accutane or not?
I am on my 5-6th month of Accutane now and have struggled with headaches since the start. Recently, I have had a severe pressure like headache that sends me close to being sick. I would almost put it down to a migraine, but since I dont suffer from them usually I wouldnt know. Could this headache be from my Accutane and if so, could it be serious?
Im taking accutane for lat 4 months but only 20mg once in 48 hours. Im 31 years n my weight is 47 kgs. I didnt have a headache initially but now(afer 3 months) have a continuous nonstop headache...it increases when i lay in bed. Should i go see a neurologist or just assume it cause of the medicine?
Hi, I started a course of Accutane recently for facial acne. On the 3rd day started drying up as expected lips,nose ect but my eyes also dried up badly and were and still sting and are red. On the 5th day I decided I'll deal w acne and stopped my treatment. I haven't took a pill in 2 weeks but my eyes are getting worse they sting and sensitive to light as well as joint pains, headaches, Is it possible that permanent effects could be done w such a small total dosage (200mg)total. I'm worrisome?
I've been on Accutane 6 weeks. I had some headaches in the beginning, but they went away with ibuprofen. My doctor lowered my dose from alternating 40/80 mg to only 40 mg because she said Accutane can increase pressure on the brain. She said if it continues I'll have to stop it for a month or six weeks. I've had a constant headache lately, but it's mild and doesn't affect my daily activities. Is it increased pressure and do I need to stop? My skin is so much better already, I don't want to stop.
