What are common side effects of accutane treatment for acne for a 35 year old male ???

I'm not a male, but the same age,


Your lips will be so dry, you won't want to go out sometimes, but this will pass, and the other bad thing, well pretty much every oriface on your body dries up, so when I needed to have a bowel movement it really hurt, so my suggestion is that if you're not really regular, take some extra fibre, like Metamucil or something, because if you go a couple of days without a bowel movement, it will be very painful....What are common side effects of accutane treatment for acne for a 35 year old male ???

I was on it for a while when I was a kid. I noticed the same thing as the other guy, lots of water, and chapstick, good chapstick.





The other issue I noticed was being a little depressed, and not knowing why.

I took Accutane for about a year. I think all the side effects are the same for a male and female. Although I had to take a pregnancy test every month in order to get the medicine (because it has SERIOUS birth defects). I also had dry skin, which is easy to fix with some good lotion, and I became really depressed when I was on it.





Good luck!
The symptoms a patient on Accutane can experience (as well as months or years after Accutane use) include abdominal bloating and pain; diarrhea or frequent, loose, or bloody stools. Some patients are misdiagnosed with mild ';irritable bowel syndrome'; and the connection is not often made with Accutane.
