My son (Age 17) took Accutane for about 17 weeks when he started going downhill mentally. Dermatologist would not continue treatment until we brought in a note from a psychiatrist saying he was okay. I chose not to continue with treatment. Son seemed to be okay. Anyway, he now has odd behavior going around the house saying schnit, schnit, schnit and no, no, no. He also sticks his chin out, makes and odd movement with his lips, and you can see the cords in his neck. He sometimes stops when he walks. This seemed to start after stopping the Accutane which was around 6 weeks ago. He has lost weight, isn't interested in eating anymore, and feels that he has something wrong with his stomach. He looked at me one time and it was so sad because he looked haunted. Has anyone had any experienc...

IF YOU GET COTTON-MOUTH FROM TAKING TRAZADONE, WHAT DO YOU TAKE FOR THIS ??? ## The best option for cotton mouth is having lots of water readily available. Coconut water specifically is very hydrating and may stop the cotton mouth from returning at a quicker rate. Another option I may try is chewing gum, to help build up more saliva. Hope this info helps! Please post back if you have any other questions or comments regarding this.

can you please tell me if there are bad for me since i have been taking them for months and have lost weight . thank you. ## These artichoke supplements are just that, nutritional supplements.

How much does it cost to fill a prescription for Olux-E? ## My arms have an intense itch, I went to my doctor and she gave me zyrtex and told me to ise dove soap. I was told I would be on zyrtec the rest of my life, I am 71. Also gave me a script for olux-e. The cost of that was $401.00. There is no way I can take that at that price. I really don't know what it is I have as my doctor was in and out of the room. My arms are actually discolored, and the itching is almost unbearable. She also told me to use luberdium.

cream ## , I was told Eterna 27 was the bSam cream available. This was in Modeling School in San Francisco, back in the 70's. At the time I had oily skin, and didn't use it. Now I use Tazorac, a strond retinoid prescription cream, which leaves my skin dry and peeling at times. I bought some E-27, because it's no longer going to be discontinued, and I love the way my skin drinks up the moisture. What exactly is so good about this cream? Is it the active ingredient, Progenten? If so, what is in it...???

My son who is now 20 took Accutane for the first time when he was 16 but had a seizure in the 2nd month. He, of course, was taken off and they said it was most likely not connected. At the age of 19 he started with Accutane again. In the 5th month he started having severe joint pain so he stopped again (his face was cleared). Within 6 months we noticed our son being more withdrawn from friends but also had rage outburst. We associated it with college and their pressures. We did however start getting phone calls from his roommates saying he was very alone, talked of depression and had extreme mood swings with explosive rage outburst. Since summer break was coming up we got him in counseling and was also started on an antidepressant. We witnessed his rage first hand and it scared my whole...

can i use this ointment for fongus on my hand ## This ointment is usually used to debride chronic skin ulcers and severe burns. That said, it is probably not the best choice to treat a fungal infection, as it is not an antifungal agent and it could make your skin very sensitive, so the fungus could spread and get worse. Have you consulted your doctor?

I went on accutane a year and a half ago for 6 months. I was apprehensive at first as I had heard that accutane was a very strong drug, but after speaking to my dermatologist I felt calm enough to give it a try. I now see how doctors can fool you just to make money and it makes me sick. I had bad joint andmuscle pains while on it, but was told that these symptoms would disappear once I was off the medication. I have had had joint and muscle problems ever since coming off that damn drug and its now 2 years later. It was only just recently that it could as bad as it is now and I now have pain in ALL my joints. I am only 21 but I honestly feel like I am about 80. My joints constantly click and I have especially bad pain in my wrists, fingers, knees and feet. I also get muscular pains in my...
