I took it for 6 months about 5 years ago and didn't experience tinnitus. Is it a common side-effect?

Does it say anything on the information sheet? If it doesnt then probably it wont

I thought about taking it too but it has so many serious and I mean really serious side effects. so I don't think I will take it I'm just too scared. I read about how it can cause tinnitus but I only found one guy on a board who experienced t during the treatment and that may be not even related to the roaccutane I mean who knows. Would be nice if you could report back.

Brave if you do, I don't even take paracetamol if I have got a headache! I agree with seal, roaccutane has some serious side effects, I heard that roaccuuntane is basically controlled vitamin A poisoning! I think it is very risky, I would look into other treatments. I myself had bad acne when I was in my teens early twenties, I thought about taking the drug but I was to scared to try, luckily my skin cleared up for the past 2 to 3 years now, you will most likely grow out of it once your older and your hormones balance out, not worth the long term risks with that extreme drug!

Well I suppose if you didnt have any sideeffects then you probably wont have them now. I dont think having tinnitus means that everything that could possibly cause tinnitus will (or at least I hope so)

I took about 10 years ago for 3 months. It wasn't until later I realized how bad the side effects are from that drug including things like eye floaters which I have also

I've taken Isotretinoin too, for 6 months, years before I got tinnitus. I had no other side effects other than extremely dry skin, but that fixed itself after the drug was (successfully) stopped and acne cleared.

I took it about 15 years ago. Do not take it! It causes extreme depression! All drugs have side effects and you don't need them most of the time.

I also have floaters, but don't care and I think I got them about 5 years after that. Floaters are pretty simple and if they ever get really bad you could consider laser treatment, but don 't do it unless you have to. Don't mess with stuff. Floaters are fine if they are low. T is much more complicated and if I could get rid of one it would be the T.

Research other treatments. Maybe some kind of light that kills the bacteria, I don't remember.
