I started accutane so that I get through the first 3 weeks before uni starts, just above a week in.
Nothing special has been happening with my skin yet which is to be expected, BUT the last 3 nights I have been having 2-3 retarded vivid dreams per night.
Not nightmares per say because I'm not 12 but they still mess with my sleep. I have been waking up less rested and for the first 15 minutes of my day my body keeps the "annoyed" feeling I had in the dreams.

I googled it and a couple articles on it came up, calling it a rare side effect, so I might be correct in assuming that its from accutane.
Has anyone dealt with this? It kinda sucks so I'd love to get rid of it.

brutal, Im on 10mg so I feel like splitting the pills would be too little. I dont have trouble falling asleep or wake up too early its just the quality of my sleep that feels a little reduced. I'll see how it evolves for now ig
Good thing is I dont have terrible face acne so I technically dont need accutane I just wanted to clear out roid acne a bit. If I have to lay it off its not the end of the world

yeah i also got acne on 350 test E, try to make more frequent injections to lower T/E spike, E spikes give you acne btw.

probs would have to use topical tret or whatever shit probs.

it could be also T or Tren that rapes sleep btw, it does that too.
