zoretanin

im 4 and a half months into zoretanin for my acne problems. after 1 month of using i started to not being able to breathe deeply when i exercise. it wasn't so annoying so i kept taking it. the last 3-4 weeks i was feeling dizziness so hard during exercise, last week i passed out during an exercise. just found myself in the ground suddenly and my head was so fcked up. i quit zoretanin immediately. after 1 week i still feel dizziness and can't breathe comfortably. i wonder if these side effects are permanent or will they go away? it's been a week now since im off zoretanin, 17yo male.

Hi,The symptoms that you describe would be very unusual for this acne medication. If the dizziness and shortness of breath still persist by all means visit a local health center to get checked out.
