Serious Side Effects

My son started taking accutane 30 days ago. He has already lost his appetite completely and get sick to his stomach when he eats. His mood is one of a grey cloud. His knees ache and he has cracks in his lips. He had some open wounds from a crash in a bicycle race 4 weeks ago and they still have not heeled. I have had an older girl on the medication with no problems but will be stopping the use of this drug immediately.

The FDA does warn about these issues being possible side effects of Accutane, along with itching, dry eyes, and vision problems.

You are correct in thinking that it likely isn't the right medication for him to take, and his doctor should be informed of the symptoms he's experiencing.

I'm glad your daughter is doing well on it, though. Is it helping her acne?
