I've Been Taking Isotretinoin (Izotek, European Accutane) for 6 Days, Extreme Bloating and Diarrhea?

May 6, 2013

On day 4 I got really watery diarrhea and extreme bloating, I lit looked 9 m pregnant (I am not prego ofc). My stomach is making noises all the time, like rumbling and bubbling. My face is pinkish and extremely itchy, feels sunburnt (I have not been exposed to sun). It is day 6 now, still bloated and with minor diarrhea. I want to stop taking the meds, bcs I don't want to be bloated and ruin my guts. Is it safe to stop after 6 days? Did I do permanent damage to my intestines? Pls answer :(
