KinG Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Hey guys, few months back i made a mistake by taking this acne medicine called Accutane. I took it for about 2 weeks and then i stopped , i couldnt handle it anymore. After i started taking it, my vision quality has decreased. for instance, I tend to lose focus with my eyes alot. Like when watching tv or anything else. I made an appointment with an eye doctor next month, but i was curious if anybody had any insight on this. Thanks
Sayonara Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 Look here for complete info: http://www.pharmacynetworkgroup.com/accutane-side-effects.htm Look here for an easier read: http://www.acneguide.com/tf/content.asp?a=102 I'd avoid that drug like the plague if it is not critically necessary.
KinG Posted June 27, 2003 Author Posted June 27, 2003 yea it wasn't critically neccessary my dermatologist is just an asshole and vaguely described the drug to me. Practically brain washed me into taking it, bragging about how it worked wonders for her sons with no side effects. I called up the company who makes it and told them i was having problems, they jumped all over it. They wanted full detail of my problems, and then the woman said something about growth stunt, and how there has been random cases of stunting of growth. I got very angry because im only 16 years old and haven't stopped growing yet and none of the forms or any information about this drug that i was told about said NOTHING about stunting growth. If this is the case the company would be in some legal trouble.
Sayonara Posted June 27, 2003 Posted June 27, 2003 I think it's your dermatologist who'd be in trouble if she didn't warn you about the side effects
KinG Posted June 27, 2003 Author Posted June 27, 2003 well i was aware of all the side effects except stunting of growth, which is of my biggest concern now being im only 5'4", and plan on growing more
