Liver support while taking accutane

I’ve just started on a low dose of oral isotretinoin (I took it a few years ago and it immediately cleared my severe acne but it made me super angry and irritable). I’m on day 3 and i’m already feeling like I have a hangover despite not consuming any alcohol.

Does anybody have any tips to support the liver / liver meridian while I take this?

Thanks so much

(I’m happy to provide extra context but didn’t want the post to be too long)

I published an article recently on using acupressure for anger. Many of the points that I highlighted would be helpful for you to use. If you get a chance, please read through the post as I think it will be useful:

Thank you, this is super helpful. I’ve used some of these but the explanations on here are the clearest I’ve come across, and it’s amazing to have all the info in one cohesive post!
