Did your doctor tell you not to take a multivitamin that has Vitamin A in it? Mine did. Because if your body gets real Vitamin A in its system, it will stop absorbing the Accutane. Which isn't good. Vitamin A from food is ok, but not from a multivitamin because you get so much from a multivitamin. That is what my doctor told me. You may want to ask yours about this.
I had the worst PMS of my LIFE the other day, and I think it's from the Accutane. I always get depressed just one day a month, before my period, and I always know it's just the PMS, but this was about 100 times worse than I've ever experienced. I cried all day and was unable to do anything that I needed to do that day. Awful.
I'm in month 3 as well. My skin is finally clearing up! You?
Thanks for the warning, but my doctor knows I am taking a multi vitamin. I was concerned about the double dose of A too. I am actually only taking 1/2 the multi vitamin.
My skin looks pretty good, and since I was on antibiotics before I started, its looked pretty good the whole time. My concern is will it continue to be good after its over. I still get an occasional cyst, but smaller, I hope to get none, when the treatment is over.

Hi,
Thanks for the warning, but my doctor knows I am taking a multi vitamin. I was concerned about the double dose of A too. I am actually only taking 1/2 the multi vitamin.
My skin looks pretty good, and since I was on antibiotics before I started, its looked pretty good the whole time. My concern is will it continue to be good after its over. I still get an occasional cyst, but smaller, I hope to get none, when the treatment is over.
Glad to hear things are going well for you.
