Re: the liverflush and accutane

Oh yeah, try to get off of it if you can. It's really damaging to the liver and some of the other side effects are depression, accompanied with suicidal thoughts, etc. You can also google "side effects of Accutane" and read some of the hits. There are a ton of natural alternatives here like liver flushing, using clay, etc. What type of foods do you eat?

About 14 years ago, I went to see a derm doc who was going to put me on Accutane. When I had questioned him on the side effects, he got mad, snarled at me and said, "Oh really?... and tell me what are the side effects since you know?" Since he took that attitude with me, I got up out of my chair, called him an expletive name, and walked out the door!

So, just a suggestion, I would go back to your doctor and ask him or her about the side effects and see what they say. By the way, I never ended up taking Accutane since apparently I knew more than him about the side effects. I just wanted to hear them from his mouth! (chuckling!)
