Side effects from Accutane should be gone within a month of stopping the tablets so if it has been longer than this you must go to your doctor.
Headache is a less-commonly reported side effect of Accutane, but i have heard from several people who said they had to stop treatment for this reason.
You would have been told to take birth control pills whilst on Accutane, and i wonder if these could have contributed to your headaches. Dianette (Diane35 in the USA) can cause headaches and migraines. Which brand of pill were you prescribed and are you still taking them now? Loiloi xx
