Try fiber laxative: Try taking fiber laxative like Metamucil a couple of days before the expected episode of constipation. Drink enough water to keep your urine colorless.

Sure, see a DR: Accutane (isotritoin) causes dry mouth. Sometimes abdominal cramps. Most likely these symptoms are viral or other cause not related to acne treatment.
