Supplements while taking Accutane?

Hi I'm looking to get some advice I'm starting Accutane for my skin and I was wondering if anyone has taken it? I'm trying to research what supplements to take while on it (side affects can include higher cholesterol, inflamed liver) and I can't find much.

Armour Thyriod (blood work results)

FYI at that time I started Accutane 40mg once daily for acne. Today the dermatologist increased it to 60mg. I’ve heard this medication affects thyroid.

Random Vent I guess ?

I have decided I want to get rid of my acne (it’s been bugging me on and off for years and it’s gotten really bad again) so I am going on accutane. You aren’t supposed to drink on this med for 6 months or so … so I have no choice but to try and do this for me.

Im not convinced its acne

last year and it cleared my face completely , keeping in mind i NEVER had severe acne on my body or barely at all, the side effects stopped me from taking more than a 3 months course and didnt complete the accutane medication I went to another doc and he said the same thing, acne possibly due to

Blushing on accutane?

Hi all. My dermatologists just started me on 10mg isotretinoin three times a week for adult acne. I now blush frequently and this can last for hours. I have only been o. The treatment for about a week. Could the isotretinoin cause side effects so soon and at such a low dose?

Tattoo after isotretinoin?

I was just after some advice on getting tattooed after accutane, I know the general rule is to wait 6months but I feel this is quite a long time, I’ve googled and researched about it and some derms say 1 year some 6 months some 2 months and some 2 weeks. I really (really) want this tattoo done.

Over 60 with scars.

This is my first post on here. I suffered from severe acne from the age of 14 til my mid 20s, it returned in my 30s. I then went on Roaccutane which cleared it up.

2nd month of roaccutane and acne’s got 10 x worse

Hi there, I’m in my 6th, nearly 7th week of taking roaccutane. Was initially on 20mg, Currently on 40mg but my acne is getting 10x worse and I’m just concerned because my acne hasn’t been this bad before. It’s quite upsetting and frustrating. Any help would be appreciated.

Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) possible trigger of Hashimotos?

I was looking through an old diary and realised I got diagnosed with hashimotos 6 weeks after coming off the drug roaccutane. After a bit of googling I did find a study suggesting maybe roaccutane is an environmental trigger for hashimotos. Just wondering if anyone else has made this personal link or

Has anyone with Lupus been prescribed Isotretinoin/Accutane for acne?

I wanted to know if anyone else has been on Accutane/Isotretinoin and might have some advice or can share their own experience with the drug? At the moment my anxiety is through the roof, and I’m considering calling my doctor to just stop taking it. Thanks!

Tips on starting Roaccutane

Hi, I have suffered with acne for around 10years now! After trying everything the GP could possibly prescribe i was so fed up and finally insisted that GP referred me to dermatology. I had my appointment with the dermatologist today and they have prescribed Roaccutane 40mg daily which I am starting tomorrow

Roaccutane and food?

My 15 year old daughter has just started on roaccutane. I’m “trying” to get her to follow a healthy diet now on this medication. She takes the tablet & an antibiotic tablet with a bowl of cereal in the morning! But is now getting diareaha . Any suggestions on what food to take the roaccutane
