Just stared accutane, 1st week no side effects, 2nd week diarrhea with lower stomach pains, 3rd week constipated with green fuzzy poo. what do i do?

Talk with your: prescribing doctor, who will probably want you to stop it. The GI symptoms you describe are not common with Accutane. Usually the side effects are more skin related: dryness, rash, itching, peeling, muscle or joint pains. Accutane has been linked to the development of inflammatory bowel disease such a Crohn's so I'm certain your doctor will want to know about your symptoms. Good wishes.
