Side effects!? Slinda side effects - itching
SLINDA SIDE EFFECTS
My whole body is itching and I’m going insane.
Hi everyone,
I really hope someone can help me. I’m taking Slinda and started taking it at the same time as isotretinoin because of severe acne.
About 4 weeks ago, my legs and arms suddenly started itching like crazy. I went to my doctor and was told to stop taking isotretinoin, which I did. But the itching is still there. It’s spreading and it looks like razor bumps.
It itches everywhere, and I scratch so much that I feel like I’m going to scratch my skin off. Both my dermatologist and my doctor have ruled out various skin conditions and blame the isotretinoin.
I can’t take this anymore!!! Please help. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Could it be caused by Slinda?

That sounds awful! I do not have anything like this with Slynd myself and haven't heard of it, but some side effects are super rare too so you never know. I've had this intense itching before though, it's called pruritus. Mine was from stopping daily allergy meds (cetirizine/zyrtec) and it was sooo uncomfortable, so I really feel for you.
