Re: intestinal problems related to Accutane

Yep I took Roaccutane 14 years back. 11 months in total at the maximum dose... Absolutely crazy when I think back.

Afterwoulds I had severe anxiety problems for about a year, and my stomach became totally shot. Prior to roaccutane was in perfect health, never had anything more serious then the flu.

Have been back and forward to the doctors several times about my stomach. Have had colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and numerous ultrasounds but fortunately have been told my problem is "functional" and told I'm an IBS sufferer.

Have also had joint issues in the past, but thankfully they haven't persisted. Overall I believe Roaccutane has made my health much more fragile. I dread to think the effect it has had, and can only hope that good diet and a healthy lifestyle can go someway to repairing the damage it did.
