This is a fucking public service, all the respect 🙏 how can dermatologists recommend this shit? Have you seen Dr Dray, the youtube skin dermatologist, and her 1.6m viewed q and a about it? How is it possible for a dematologist be so glib about this? There is no way they don't know about this! I would be grateful for your thoughts
I did accutane. Didn’t have the side effects taking it, but dry lips and now I think my eyes are affected dry eye. They just feel weird when looking at screens. 35 now still have my hair but it’s dry texture now and thinning could be due to age. My skin is no longer oily too, use to be so oily. I do wonder if it dried me out Vs just aging but impossible to know
I probably got depression and wastage of a small part of my bone on the tibia of the ankle, which had to be operated 2 times. Everyone who wants to take the drug, I'd recomand to think twice if he wants to take it. But worst of all is definitly the depression, and that they gave it to me at the age of 13. There is definitly no way to reverse any of the side-effects. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for making these videos. Wish I had seen more videos like this before taking Accutane as there are a lot more side effects besides dry skin, lips, etc. On the 5th month of taking it I got a blood test back with low count red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.. they took me off the drug and my Dr. said worst case scenario, I could have Leukemia. Thankfully, a few blood tests later everything cleared up. Also had some bloody stools/yellowish stools while taking it. It's interesting you mention brain fog, concentration, fatigue, etc, as this is something I've struggled with in the years preceding taking it. Thought it might be side effects of taking epilepsy meds for many years, but it could very easily be the Accutane.
The only real solution is if there is money and interest to develop a drug that can do the reversal of what accutane does. Accutane damage is real and permanent. There has been so many victims but we are not getting together. People who are suffering and struggling right now should get out, raise their voice and support each other.That's why I really endorse this channel. Only by being together, can we be strong. If we are strong, may be something can be done. I don't see it happening at the moment.
If the mechanism of accutane and its effect on the human hormonal system is well understood and well documented, why can't we make use of this understanding and do the reverse? It would take decades of research but morally and practically, for compassion and for medical science's sake, this should be done. Such a drug has the potential to cure Sjogren's syndrome and hypogonadism. Maybe some folk who works in the industry who also happens to be an accutane victim will take the first steps. Provided they still can work and is not disabilitated by it.
My acne is very mild and I'm only on 30 mg. Before I started taking the pills, I binge watched RU-vid for like two or three days on this topic and never did I see any videos about the long term side effects!
Same I’m on 30mg but I might stop accutane because personally I have always had depression and suicidal thoughts and always felt like I can control my my thoughts. I’m 24 so I had acne for quite a while but I have tried everything and for the most part I seen some success. I went to a new dermatologist and wanted to go originally for scarring. And prescribed me accutane because at the time I broke out. So I don’t know if I should go on with it.
Have you heard of respiratory problems due to isotretinoin? I'm on my second course with no serious side effects to date but as Im living in Australia I'm worried about the effects of the drugs mixed with the poor air quality we've had. I've felt like the air isnt going into my lungs properly when I breathe and so far nothing has helped. Any reply would be appreciated from anyone!
I ws on dose of accutane of 10 mg twice a week for one month den aftr long time i took agin for one month and i took again now aftr looking at ur videos i stopped it and how do i redcued damage i have no major symptoms yet
Isotretinoin made my whole body so dark in 6 months how do I get my normal skin back 😢😢😢 the doctor said after leaving this medicine my skin will become fair again and this is now 4week I can't see any change and now how many days I have to wait ☹😢😢😢plz help me!!!!??
I lost alot of my hair and it made my hair texture horrible there is no way to reverse this and I can’t even look myself in the mirror because of accutane. Never knew it could cause hair loss before taking it now it’s too late feels like life is over don’t take it if you care about your hair
Ali it’s been 3 years since I’ve been off it. Took it for 6 months straight a pill daily. i use rogaine to help prevent more hair loss. Hair doesn’t grow long like it used to grow anymore.
It’s so hard as I didn’t take it but now I’m heavily scared and my life is ruined in this way. So it’s like there’s no good choice. Diet did help (LcHF)but not enough so continuing to get one bad deep cyst a month over 3 year period has left me with so much scaring. Kills confidence and leads to isolation. Now I’m on topical Tretinoin in which is helping. Is there a danger in long term topical tretinoin?
Many people say it's ok to take long term (many people use it as "anti-aging", as it's basically prescription grade retinol). However, my pharmacist mentioned that the vitamin A in tretinoin plus the vitamin A in a daily multivitamin is plenty for the body. *edit*.. check out the comment from 'r bht'. After doing a google search, it looks like long term side effects are actually common. Not good..
Comment is 3 years later but for people reading this. Don't use topical retinoids either. I used it and had side effects but couldn't connect them to the cream. It's only when I took accutane that I connected the dots with retinoids and vitamin A derivatives. The side effects are milder but are just as permanent.
Is this series to be continued? Hope so, as all need to know what pharma hides and criminally denies. This videos are very very good, this is what any person has to view before taking these drugs. And many have to view to understand what happened to them, how they got very sick after taking a drug. Best wishes.
@@lifeafteraccutane2173 oh it's a loss, you are a very good interviewer. And there is a lot of knowledge in your videos. Of course, damaged by drugs communities today know more than medics. Best wishes.
@@lifeafteraccutane2173 hey, what do you think about micro-dosing on accutane? for example 5mg - 10mg per week. it seems like everyone you interviewed have all these terrible side affects but all your faces are completely clear. so clearly it works and is quite strong. I've heard people get on accutane through macrodosing and have absolutely no problems.
To increase views do thumbnails with faces, do response videos to other people’s skin videos being provocative in comparing their skin problems to the dangers of what Accutane can do to you... basically be provocative to hook people but then give them real value in the actual video.
Stefan do you take Omega 3 (only DHA from algue capsule, at least a good Brand)? I take it with Vitamin D3. I also take some calcium, Magnesium, potassium to correct the too acid state of the body. Then I take Lots of zinc and now I want to include Choline for Bile production and liver Regeneration. Can you give me some advice about supplementation (what helped you Most, what to avoid? Thx, greetings
I would rather have most of these long-term side effects than to get bullied in high school. Every drug has side effects, and nobody is ignoring how bad these side effects they just move on.
A lot to unpack from this short comment. Firstly, high school is only a few years, not your entire life. Secondly, it’s impossible to ‘move on’ from LONG TERM side effects that actually do last for your entire life. Most people’s acne comes back after Accutane anyway.

Wow. Basing ur entire life on highschool. Come on now. I homeschool my kid. There are ways to get around bullies and u cant base ur life off of ppl in high school. High scool is 3 years of your whole life
@@Warfarenuggetz I mean high school is one of the best experiences of your life. Make a lot of friends and have fun, but goodluck to your kid your homeschooling I hope you send him to highschool it’s a good experience
@@lilbulgarianog3396 lol. Yeah sure. U don't even have one iota on where i live or even how the schools are here. The schools here tell you if your white youre racist and if u don't wanna be a boy who wears a dress then ur a homophobe. Their teaching kids to do all the wrong things here in my state. Don't tell me what i know. My 6 year old niece was called a racist cuz shes white! So no. I won't let my son be bullied ALL his life cuz hes white. 💯 im glad u had a good experience but the schools here aren't about education. They're about indoctrination. Have a nice day. 👍
