I am unaware of adverse interactions between accutane, valtrex, and/or oral contraceptives, and couldn't find evidence of any on line.  Your symtpoms could well be due to accutane along; they arenb't due to valtrex or orth-tricyclen.

There are several on-line resources to check drug interactions.  Here is one of them:

I have also been taking Valtrex and Accutane.  I have only been taking the accutane for a week, and valtrex for a year.  My pharmacist says there are no reported adverse interactions with the two drugs.  

I have been experiencing stomach pain the last two nights.  If it continues I will call my doctor on Monday.  The symptoms (dizziness and sleeping) you described could be side effects from Accutane.  Please be careful and call your doctor if they continue.

Thanks for posting your question.  We can't be the only two peole combining these drugs!!
