Accutane and liver
by BillBrasky, Sep 08, 2008 06:34PM
I have been taking accutane for a month (80mg/day). My doctor is taking me off the medicine for two weeks because my labs were somewhat elevated. I am supposed to be retested in two weeks and they will re-evaluate. I have responded very well to the treatment. Dry skin/lips were my only side-effects. My life and self-esteem seemed to be normal. For once in my life, how bad my face looked was not the first thing I thought of when I woke. Now this - I cant seem to catch a break. I took accutate 6 years ago and had no problems. I havent had a drop of alcohol. I don't understand. Has this happened to anyone else? Will I be relegated to the creams and antibiotics that have never worked? The thought of not being able to take accutane makes me depressed.

Stay positive, your doctor's plan is to re-evaluate which doesn't necessarily mean bad news. For your doctor to agree to continue treating you, the risks of doing so have to be outweighed by the expected benefits.
