[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What side effects from Accutane? My DS has bad acne but doesn’t want to take it. [/quote] PP here - DS had muscle/body aches that was managed with Advil (still swam/played soccer), really dry skin (had to be vigilant about moisturizing), very dry lips (carried lip balm everywhere.) Biggest headache was monthly blood draws. [/quote] Both my boys did Accutane for about 6 months. Their biggest issues were the dry skin and lips. We did not have to do monthly blood draws - ours were about every 2-3 visits. You are also not supposed to drink alcohol while on Accutane - one of my sons followed this vigilantly, the other still drank occasionally. One of my sons was really worried about depression and suicidal thoughts since he had heard that from other kids and was hesitant to go on it, but we tried everything and he finally agreed. Best thing he could have done - his skin looks great. [/quote]
