Accutane and weird side effects. Should I consult my doctor?

Have taken 13 doses of accutane and have been having weird side effects. The first couple of night i had bad stomach pains (doctor said it was because of the meal I had, 20 chicken mcnuggets) and then I have nose bleeds which I heard was normal. But now I've been constipated for a couple of days. All of it has been relieved but I'm afraid I might develop a diseas. I read a side effect to ibs is bloating and constipation ( I had both). I also have been having a sore throat and heartburn that's gone away. The sore throat is going away too. If anyone can help out there please lend a hand. I would appreciate it greatly. Ps I'm on 40mg a day.

    alot of drugs do have initial side effects, all you mention are in fact normal. you said it has all relieved itself. As long as they a minor which is what they were. Serious side effects are like breathing problems and such. but with minor ones like yours call the dr if they don't resolve..

His medical expert instructed my mom and me to not at all cope with the pills because it became into rather good and can desire to be soaked up interior the direction of the exterior. My brother's medical expert pronounced that Accutane should not be prescribed to women as that's a sort of a steroid. This became into throughout the time of the early ninety's...that became into no longer all that some time past. even in spite of the undeniable fact that the FDA says its secure for men and girls now...basically concept that's advisable to renowned that a minimum of 10 years in the past they did no longer say that ladies might desire to even cope with the medicine much less take it. bypass decrease back on your medical expert and ask for something else.
