Any trained while using isotretinoin?

I've been on it for around 6 weeks, maybe longer. Am noticing that my legs and back ache a lot more than usual. I was on 20mg per day and that's been reduced to 10 so I'm hoping it eases off.

I did find that it got better over time. When I went on it a second time it didn't affect me the same way so I guess I must have adapted to it. Hope this helps
