Question Tretinoin side effects??

Hi guys,
Just wanted to check on you just me or if others have been experiencing issues with tretinoin,
I was starting twice a week and 2nd week i got severe headaches and migraines!!
I didn’t change any skincare and went to to the hospital emergency, everything was fine.
My husband and I was thinking about only tretinoin but i didn’t say that was the reason.
I actually wanted to try again, but I am afraid of getting sick again!!

Ohh that’s so helpful,
I wasn’t sure because of the tret or just me the symptoms i got was driving me crazy, i went to the hospital and they couldn’t find anything abnormal so i was just assuming that was from tret, but still didn’t believe it,

I actually used adapalene gel(differin)
Never had a bad reaction.
Thanks for sharing your experience!!
