Creatine Side Effects

I am a 17 year old male who is about to start taking accutane in the upcoming weeks. After researching all about it, I still have questions about it.

So how about a basic questions first, am I allowed to workout while taking accutane? I read up on accutane and some of the side effects include joint pain and muscle soreness. I do a lot of weight training.

I’ve already read an earlier post about taking accutane along with creatine. I go to the gym three days a week and take creatine on those three days. From the other post, they said that the creatine does strain the liver, so I should not be taking the creatine with the accutane. Any more information about accutane and creatine would be appreciated.

Besides taking creatine, I also take whey protein six days a week. Does taking whey protein work well with the accutane?

The final supplement I take at the gym is glutamine. So does glutamine mix well with accutane?

So, enough about taking accutane with various supplements, how about other over the counter drugs. For example if have a headache in the future, is it okay to be taking Tylenol while on the accutane? Not necessarily taking them together, but while I’m still on accutane. Also when I have a cold, I tend to take Nyquil and Airborne (vitamin c supplements). Will there be any problems taking those drugs while on accutane? I believe Nyquil has small amounts of alcohol in it.

Also I take Tylenol Simply Sleep occasionally to help me go to bed. The drug in it is Diphenhydramine HCL. Is this okay with accutane?

I know there are a lot of questions, but accutane does come with a lot of side effects. Better to be safe than sorry. I appreciate all the help I can get, thank you.

Pick your poison my friend, clear face or a yolked frame?
