Accutane + PM (and other herbs) ?

I currently got accutane from my dermatologist and I was wondering if it was okay to take both accutane and the herbs together. Does anyone one know? From what I understand accutane is really bad for your liver and I think your liver is an important organ for NBE, thats all I know.

Here is what I found on accutane:

I would not recommend anything except what the dermatologist approves while taking something like this. (Why not just take vitamin A or cod liver oil?)

I was on accutane several years ago, and if I were you I would not take anything else with it. I drank once when I was on it [before i knew i wasnt supposed to] and after that my labs were so messed up they had to lower my dose, so I ended up being on it for several months longer that most people do. Anyway, accutane is pretty harsh stuff. You really only need to take it for 4-5 months, i think. I would stop all herbs, take the accutane and just continue when you're done. Or even try to follow wahaika's theory and start in the spring.
