by kesha72, Dec 27, 2007 05:18PM
i had been taking accutane for several years i also had been suffering with my jaw slipping.  i saw an ent specialist and several doctors who saw nothing wrong with my jaw.  One day after not suffering from jaw pain i realized when the jaw pain started several years ago i had just started the accutain and more recently the claravis, both caused severe jaw pain claravis more uncontrollably than the accutane but once i discontinued the medicine all pain stopped.  Have you ever heard of thisside effect

The potential side effects of accutane are numerous, and one of them is muscle or joint pain. You and your doctor have to decide whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh the potential side effects. Bone calcification is a concern with long-term use. Why did you take accutane for several years, did you stop after the recommended 150mg X your body weight and experience a relapse or did you take it continuously for years? Please get back to me.
