Has anyone here ever taken Accutane? What is your experience?

 

[DJW]

Hi. I did years ago. I went from bad to worse (may have been coincidence). I think their is a class action lawsuit in the US. Talk to your GI before going on it.

 

[Lam123]

What got worse?

 

[DJW]

Crohns. Pain, abscesses and the development of fistulas. Again, it could have been coincidence because I never had much success with any treatment anyway.

 

[Lam123]

Did the Accutane help ur skin?

 

[DJW]

I think so but I don't recall being on it for long. I can't copy links on my device.

Check drugs.com. accutain. It list warnings.

What did u take Accutane for? Acne?

 

[DJW]

Sorry. Its drug watch.com. Accutain.

 

[DJW]

Sorry, I don't recall. It was back in the early 1980's.

 

[Lam123]

Do you hae acne now?

 

[DJW]

No

 

[Lam123]

Ok. My GI has already said no way to the drug, but my dermotologist is saying it won't affect crohns.

 

[DJW]

Your GI may know of something else that will work.

 

[Lam123]

I have tried everything. So I'm not sure.

 

[DJW]

Its a tough situation. I feel for you.

I'm more worried about the Accutane affecting my kidneys and liver
