FUCK! Accutane and sickness?

[Spunky]

Ok.. I've been tired and feeling like shit since I was put on accutane. Last night I went out to Chilis to eat. I didn't eat like a shitload or anything.. I had some chicken wings and then a chicken breast and some rice, and 2 coors lights. I was getting ready to leave when I just had a sudden urge to puke.. so I had to run to the bathroom and I lost all my supper, it sucked. Today in the gym I was working legs, did squats and was fine, then I started doing calves and got so tired I could've went to sleep on the calf machine.. then on the way home I had another sick spell...... could it be accutane???

 

[peter8581]

it's possible it could be the accutane. I finished accutane last summer and while i was on it i had lower back pains, and was week in general. That stuff does differnt things to everyone who takes it.

Shit its funny you should post this because I have been on for 5 days now at only 40mgs/day and only 2 days after starting (not being sick, but sore throat and feel lazy and tired all the time). I think it may be a cold or flu though, I hope so anyways. I didnt feel like this when I was on as a teen.

 

[Spunky]

damn it sucks.. i dunno if its the accutane or not but im tired as fuck.

Accuatine may make some people lathargic. This is one of the common sides of this drug. I noticed it subsided after a few weeks though.

I'm finishing up my third month of the stuff(40mg/day) and with the exception of real dry lips and constant dehydration I've been OK. But everyone is different-just saw my dermatologist last week who said my dosage was pretty mild and that at larger dosages there are lots more sides. I have noticed I can't drink as much alcohol now-makes me feel kinda bad even after just a couple of drinks-never thrown up though. Maybe your weakness/illness is from dehydration or from alcohol. The only thing definite about this drug is that noone seems to experience the same things while on it.

Providian what are your results like after this long?

Thanks

i thought the sickness was from the 2 beers mixed w/ the accutane.. but i also experienced it
this morning after my workout.. so i don't think it was the combination of accutane and alcohol.

Isnt accutane hard on your liver? Its probobly not a good idea to drink when you use it. I know some guys who wont use oral roids and accutane together because they think its to harsh.( of course they pick the orals over the accutane!)

i toke accutane for 6 months and it works wonders!! Actually supposively my derm. said that its supposed to stay in your body even after you take it in the affect that you shouldnt have such breakouts...and to tell you the truth i havent since i stopped (with the execption of a few here and there) but i stopped takin it about 7 months ago

 

[bbigman2000]

Im my current situation bro I would be putting up with any sides at all just for the chance to get clear of these dam zits, Are you taking the tabs with your food, I think that may help stop the nausea, also I would stay OFF the beer full stop while on the accutane.

 

[Spunky]

Well in my current situation I am willing to put up w/ the sides most definately.
I can even handle puking once in a while to get rid of my acne, because its terrible.
By the way, I hardly ever drink... this is the first time in a month or more and it was just 2 beers so I think im straight.

spunky do you feel the sickness run from your stomach up through your esophagus and into your mouth?

 

[Spunky]

last night it was like this..

i just felt really full at first.. my stomach hurt.. then it just felt like my food was gonna come up, and finally it did and i threw up.

 

[MikeyLikesJuice]

well I get really thirsty with it, and get like an acid build up in my esophagus and it feels like it starts from my stomach. I didn't throw up but felt like I had to, and I'm sure it was the accutane, I will stay away from it.

 

[Spunky]

thirsty isn't the word for it. I spend more time running to the water fountain at work then I do actually working..... which kindda sucks but I guess all that water is good for me.

I am going to take some pics of my shoulders and back.. and then take pics again in 1 month, 2 months, etc and then post them so everyone can see my results.

Sickness??? I was on Accutane for four months at 40mg per day. I took it when I was 19 years old. I'm 22 now. I have never experienced any kind of sickness or lethagary from it. Just lack of sweating when I'm working out (Due to no fluids, although I drank a lot of water) and dry lips. I think everybody reacts to Accunate differently. Plus, few people who killed themselves on Accutane. Are you experiencing any depression?

 

[Providian]

The funny thing about this stuff is that its supposedly the most nuclear drug to clear up acne. But after three months,the zits on my back and shoulders are still holding their own. My doc told me last week that back and shoulders are the last bodyparts to clear and that they will be completely acne-free in another 2 months.Its certainly better-and my face has never looked more clear-but the potential for toxic sides has me a little cautious-I'm also week 5 of 12 week cycle,so I'm sure thats not helping.Either way, I'm avoiding alcohol,sun,orals etc to help out the liver and taking milk thistle. I'm glad I'm taking it,but its gonna be a summer without much of a tan.

 

[jellyman01]

i am on accuatne.......have you had any vitamin A lately...i took a vitamin A based supplement when i first started accutane and got real sick...also...have ya felt real depressed lately if so consult your dermotologist asap...it could have gotten toxic to liver

 

[web_dj]

I get the same way,I am on accutane now too and I am so fucking tired and deppressed from it I dont even want to work out let alone go out of the house...when I finish the cycle of accutane I will never do it again.

 

[web_dj]

by the way here is my dosages month-1/40 then to 80mlgs....month-2/120mlgs...month-3/120mlgs and I am on month 4 right now 120mlgs,I am pretty much clear but it is just this depression shit...

 

[Spunky]

no depression from it.. just sickness
