Isotretinoin - Back Pain.

October 10, 2016
Asked By:TGC3501 in Tampa, FL

I have been on Isotretinoin for about 3 months. I was taking 60 mg but my joint pain was so bad I could hardly walk. I went down to 30 mg but now I have lower back pain and muscle spasms. This is my 3rd medication to clear my skin (i'm 42) but i'm not sure I can keep taking this. Is all this normal?
