I have been on accutane for exactly 2wks now and have the usual side effects- dry skin, chapped lips, nose bleeds and Im breaking out. I was prepared for all of this though. I hadnt heard any mention of being constipated though and I am having a really hard time with it!! Will my body adjust?? Is anyone else having this problem?

i don't think constipation is a side effect, that could just be... ya'know. constipation! Eat raisins and drink cramberry juice i'll make things a lot easier.
Good Luck :] |

Thanks Radlaa, unfortunately after speaking to a few other people apparently it is a side effect because it is drying your whole body out. Im going to give the cranberry juice and raisins a try though ;)

Just plenty of fresh fruit and raw veg is best for that. Nuts and seeds, should be in anyone's diet anyway, be extra nice to your body when on accutane. It needs it

Yes, it's a side effect...it's easy to chew metamucil tabs

Accutane dries you out... If your insides are drier, then yes, its makes since that it would be a side-effect. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated.

Prunes and prune juice are the best natural remedy.
Try to eat a whole salad every day or at least some fruits/vegetable. Salad always kept me regular while I was on accutane. __ Paul Michaels Ft. Lauderdale, FL www.AcneTreatmentJournal.com |

Thanks alot Paul, ive been trying the prune juice.. it has me going just still not like id like to be. I also saw someone else mentioned in another topic that vitamin c and magnesium work but they werent sure you can take those vitamins while on accutane. Do you know anything about it?

I have been taking Accutane for 1 week only and already have the dry lips and dry skin but I have been constipated since day one, and reading all the comments it looks like it's a side effect, I knew it was, it's comforting to know other people might be experiencing the same..have to take better care now and start with the prunes :)
