A member asked:

Is severe lightheadedness due to taking accutane?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not common: I have treated patients with Accutane (isotretinoin) for many years and have not heard that particular complaint. Theoretically any medicine can cause just about any side effect but i really haven't seen that one. I would talk this over with your dermatologist.
