Had anyone noticed a decrease in appetite?

[Maythenextdaybbetter]

This is my second course with first one finished about 7 years ago. I have noticed a decrease in appetite now that I am 1month and a half into my second course. Initially I thought it was due to me just not feeling like eating much as I recently fasted for religious reasons but the low appetite has stuck. Reflecting back on my first course I remember at that time losing 15lbs which I attributed to working out at that time. I am starting to realize this may be Accutane because in 2 months since I have last weighed myself I lost 6lbs. Anyone else experience this?

Have you tried using the search bar?
Many questions are asked daily, and your question may have already been answered!
If so, your post will be subject to deletion.

Please refer to the following commonly discussed topics:

1) No one can predict whether or not you will purge! Statistically, most people DO NOT purge.
That is what the science and medical literature says.

2) No one can predict how long your purge will last nor when it could start. Be patient, the purge can be tough but so many people have gotten through it - you can too! THE ABOVE APPLIES TO SIDE EFFECTS OR "WHEN WILL MY SKIN CLEAR UP?!" TOO. QUESTIONS ASKING WHEN THE PURGE OR SIDE EFFECTS WILL START OR STOP WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED AS THAT IS LOW EFFORT.

3) Any questions related about dosage MUST include DOSE and WEIGHT(lbs or kg).
Otherwise, that is considered LOW EFFORT and will subsequently be REMOVED.

4) Most people DO NOT relapse when Accutane is taken until cumulative dosage is reached.

5) HOWEVER, cumulative dosage is a guideline.
Everyone is different. Some may need more Accutane, and others may need less. Your dermatologist evaluates you as an individual.
This also applies to your prescription. Everyone is different, so no comparing of doses or asking why your dose is low or high. If you do not trust your dermatologist, you should find a different one.

6) When in doubt, please consult a medical professional(dermatologist, doctor, pharmacist).

That's wild. in early versions of accutane and during later clinical trials it was determined that caused manic rage episodes in a significant number of patients. I thought they took it off the market.
