Yeah, I was wondering when someone would bring up the Accutane in this thread. As soon as I read Petite's sentence about Accutane, an alarm went off in my head.
I was on accutane for the good part of a year, I know exactly what that drug can do to your body. The physical and mental changes are not to be taken lightly, which is why they make you sign that contract before you even start taking the pills. I even had my dosage reduced halfway through because I found it was affecting my liver, changing stats on my blood test results.
Accutane is well known to dry out your skin. It can affect bodily fluids, even things like your sweat glands and saliva production. If you have noticed a difference, let the doc know.
Some effects can be permanent. I have been off accutane for almost a year and still my skin is pretty gosh darn dry.
I'm not sure how long you have been on Accutance Petite, but I'll bet that it is the cause for your pain. Accutane is pretty sneaky, it can do a lot of weird stuff to your body, I suggest finding out all you can about the active ingredients in it to see if the side effects match yours in any way.
Always be cautious when on Accutane if you are sexually active, it is one powerful drug that should be taken seriously. Pay attention to your body while on that drug, cause Accutane sure as hell can do some damage if you're not careful. If necessary, see if you can reduce the dose you are taking right now, it could possibly change the way your body is reacting to the drug.
