Side effects on my hair
This is probably the one good side effect I’ve experienced on Accutane. I used to get greasy hair after one day but since being on the medicine I can get away with washing it once a week. The downside is I was getting dandruff because my scalp was dry but even that went away too.
Symptoms experienced
Luckily majority of the symptoms I have experienced were temporary and only lasted about a week or two. The one I have experienced since being on it is dry lips and skin. Symptoms that have started to go away are headaches, dizziness, pain in both boobs. I think my anxiety has been a little worse than usual but that could have nothing to do with the medicine.
New update
Im still only on 40 mg daily which definitely made my side effects decrease, but also feel as if it isn’t working like it should. Granted a lot of what I dislike is my hyperpigmentation which Accutane doesn’t cure usually.
