In reply to Vitamintosis of Vitamin A, posted by poisoned femme on August 19, 2005, at 7:55:19
> I have been poisoned by an acne related drug that is like an overdose of Vitamin A. It has affected my mind and my body. My hair has fallen out. My eyes are sore. My brain is cloudy, my memory is poor, my life isnt the same and the depression is unbearable at times. Is there any way to purge or rid my body of the toxic levels or residue of this?
A study in 1997 suggested that vitamin E might help counteract the side effects of Accutane, but a more recent study found no difference among women who took it and those who didn't. So it's kind of a toss-up. At least vitamin E isn't as toxic as vitamin A.
