Anyone gain weight while on accutane...without changing anything diet and exercise wise? I went on accutane from October until January and gained 10 pounds, just wondering if anyone else experienced this? and if so how long did it take for you to get your weight back down to pre accutane weight? I am having a serious struggle with this, and I have been done accutane for 5 weeks, and no movement on the scale.....any info would be great t thanks!!

    I lost weight while on Accutane. I was already losing on purpose when i started it, and it didn't seem to affect my rate of weight loss at all. Sorry I can't be of more help.

    I lost weight on Accutane as well, about 5- 10 pounds each time I took it. I did two courses during college.
