accutane side effect

[proxup]

Started accutane 40 mg and 6 days in I started getting some pretty bad eye pain, the kind of pain you get from staring at a screen for too long. The pain was internal, and everything I looked up just described dry eyes, itchy pain, which is not what I was experiencing. Throughout the week it turned into a headache, and even now im still not able to watch tv etc.

I had a call with my derm, he stated out of 100s of patients, nobody ever reported eye pain that was internal or behind the eye which just worries me even more.

Is there a possibility it could be something like intercranial hypertension, is this normal? Do i continue the medicine?

 

[PsychoH]

i pray your plates were already closed before starting.
Else they probably have closed a piece more. accutane's biggest side effect is growth plate closure.

Accutane can cause eye dryness but not eye pain, it’s probably something else and not the accutane

 

[EliDKing]

prove it "idiot"

Growth plate closure is only seen on giga doses that are used for long periods of time.

Never had this feeling before, or any issue with headaches. Right when i start accutane i develop both? cant be a coincidence

 

[JizzyMonohydrate]

you’re just associating it with the accutane, not actually a side effect.

 

[proxup]

You could be right. I just find it weird i now have eye strain 24/7 after starting this medicine. What else could be causing this?

 

[PsychoH]

Isotretinoin is a retinoid (Vitamin A derivative), which can interfere with chondrocyte function which are cartilage cells in growth plates, leading to early ossification. and you are indeed an idiot if you deny accutanes growth interference.

 

[chadisbeingmade]

What’s OPs age?

 

[JizzyMonohydrate]

On a much higher dose I also had eye strain (impossible to see in the dark, drive at night) but not the pressure you described. I experienced a little bit of light headedness, so it makes me think that it is a possibility that isotret could lead to pressure issues. If it’s still bad, I would call your doctor and put you on a lower dose (and work back up slowly) or get bloodwork done ASAP to see if anything’s wrong (not just lipids, full bloods)

Headaches caused by accutane are generally rare, and also ur only 6 days in, I only noticed any effects at all 2 weeks in. I would continue using for another week or so and see how It goes unless it is really bad rn

 

[chadisbeingmade]

16

Blud get off isotret.

You’re fucking 16, you don’t need it. Your acne is either caused by poor diet or hormonal changes. Guess what, I had acne at 16, few years later I have perfect skin, without ever getting a singe spot (even with sometimes shit diet), without doing anything. I don’t use a single piece of skincare (no cleanser or moisturiser) only water, some days not even water.

Stop being an impatient fuck and it will sort itself out. JFL at using drugs that will fuck you over for something that will resolve on its own

Thanks. Gonna schedule something to get blood checked out as soon as possibe. I was also on doxycycline 2 weeks before accutane, I know these two together can increase risk of pressure more than just taking accuatne alone which comcerns me even more

its not unbearable, but hard to focus in school and i have to wear glasses around the house sometimes. Clear skin is life tho

Yea so just keep doing it unless it gets worse, I was on for 6 months as well, Ive been off for 2 months, no real pimples so far, the occasional little red dot here and there, I only have redness and pigmentation left which should go away in 6-12 months, it’s def worth it

Diet is already in check, whole foods only. I feel like ive done alot to minimize acne. Ive been on tret for almost 2 years and have tried to megadose b5 etc. Nothing works, i guess its hormonal. thanks for advice tho

That’s gotta be like the most retarded thing i’ve ever read.

You want to give up bone growth in height, one of the most important thing, for some clear skin that you’ll get anyway.

Holy fuck your undeveloped brain is retarded asf.

Lemme tell you the taller you are the less everything else matters. That’s how important it is.

Also you’re not a social outcast because of acne you fucking retard.

 

[JizzyMonohydrate]

how long i should use it bro?

ur derm should have told u what is best for your skin and how severe your acne is, I was on for over 6 months at high dose because i had severe severe severe acne but usually 6 months is the average

Hormonal issue then. Puberty.

You will regret cucking yourself.

The reason you don’t get females or is a social out cast isn’t because of acne, it’s an extremely normal thing at that age.

i’m already 6’1 idgaf about the 6’2, + clear skin ascended me socially, went from rotting online for 12 hours daily with 0 social interaction to being out every weekend with higher up jew social circles

6’2 mogs 6’1 but suite yourself. It’s a good height regardless.

Also doesn’t mean OP is over 6 foot, so your recommendation of using it would be cucking him.

I’m assuming you’re under the age of 16?

Cos your brain is clearly undeveloped to think it’s a good idea.

+ jfl at saying acne doesn’t outcast you. Not talking about a few pimples, was genuinely living with massive cystic acne in every area of the face, bleeding on pillows nightly, in physical pain from even laying down or putting a sweater on and it touching my face. literally looked like some fungal shit from the last of us

im kinda stressed if i do too long it might close my growht palates im 16 so

 

[Hexmask]

how long i should use it bro?

You sound young, and dumb. Go see a dermatologist, get evaluated and have them do it. I guarentee you aren't getting bloodwork either. Let someone monitor you.

 

[JizzyMonohydrate]

im kinda stressed if i do too long it might close my growht palates im 16 so

my plates are still open according to recent xray (megadosed for 9 months, been off for like 7 months) and i’m 17 rn + how tall r u?

if you aren’t going thru a derm and getting it from an in person pharmacy ur cucking urself way worse. monthly bloods are what keeps u from permanent liver damage and nuking your hormones into oblivion worse than isotret already does. do not try to buy some chinese bunk shit online and self-treat, it isn’t a low risk sarm

Well to be fair, its not gonna fuck your hormones, and the fearmongering over how bad it really is is overblown. Im in college and have ran accutane by myself but I do low dosed and am responsible. Most of the younger people in this forum are not though.

16 yo “i need to get rid of acne asap” is going to take 160 daily with no workup and drink 20 oz of water a day supplemented by 3 monster energy drinks then die of liver cancer at 35
+ you’re high iq cel so risks are being mitigated
