What I wish I knew before starting Accutane treatment 

Hello, may i ask how frequent were your nosebleeds?

@@meerah396 several times a week!

@@therudimentroom okay, thanks for letting me know!

Heyy Did the joint pain disappear once you got off the pills?

@@folksnakpodcast425 Absolutely. I think in general the joint pain has to do with the amount of dehydration your body is going through, so once you get off of it, it seems to work its way back to normal

I haven't seen a difference in my hair at all! The only thing is that it doesn't get greasy anymore. Everyone is different but if it helps at all my hair hasn't been affected.

@@ZoeMiyoko so is your hair naturally on the thinner side then? It doesn’t seem thick here

Yeah, it’s true the hair loss can be permanent

@@francesgold6649 I have straight hair but I didn't lose any on the drug!

@@ZoeMiyoko ok, so it was just thinner to begin with

What bout your acne though?

Did you get your hair back?

Ohh noo so horrible, Did you get hair back?

Good luck with the rest of treatment ❤

Did you lose hair? I start soon and that kinda scares me

​@@SardineNipplesXX Hi there! I've been taking 70 mg of isotretinoin and I'm about 70 kilos, so my dosage may have different effects than yours. To answer your question, I personally have not experienced any hair loss on my head. However, my hands look like they're completely shaven. The treatment really irritates the skin and for some reason especially the hands, from what I can tell it dried out the surface so much that hair couldn't grow on it. I definitely recommend using moisturizer/lip balm and drinking lots of water. A friend of mine who was on isotretinoin (on a lower dosage) did experience hair loss, so my best advice to you is start with your recommended dosage and see if it has any negative effects on your hair. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, the chance that you'll get hairloss from isotretinoin is very low. The treatment can be intimidating at first but I can confidently say that even though sometimes I get tired of my dry skin, I very much prefer it over acne. Good luck with your treatment!

@@SardineNipplesXX I didn’t!

@@theultijim thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it!

Thats terribly unfortunate, sorry to hear.

@@andrewlr1225 I have three healthy kids now so everything is good :) thank you

How about if you’re on implant or on depo provera. Would you recommend accutane?

@@brittanychambers5420 omg congrats

@@sheenalaguerta8650 if you are on anything than just the pill (because you could potentially miss a day) than I'd recommend Accutane. It worked for me

I was too and I could’ve taken it like at 15 or 16 but I’m just biting the bullet now. Im currently 17 and I just recently took my first pill🥳 Hoping it’ll be worth it and good luck to you :)

I've been on accutane for a two weeks 40mg and my inflammation is gone.

@@thirtyonepigeons9539 how’s it going!❤

Did you have to take birth control

Do it now so you won’t regret it later, trust me.

So glad this was helpful for you! I was really scared to start too but so glad I did.

how is ur results?

update pls

Better dry skin than acne tbh!

Take liquid collagen and glucosamine a half of lime juice in 6 onces of water every night before going to sleep. That moisturize your whole body. Why doctors do not recommend it? ✨🤔 They know your body needs it and of course calcium supplement because acutane affects your bones

This is misinformation. This drug has been taken by over 2 million people and there are no statistics linking it to causing cancer. Correlation does not imply causation. Wishing you both a full recovery but please don’t scare people away from a potentially quality of life saving medication

😥😥

i ate a pizza 2 years ago once in my life and got booty cancer from it.

Stop talking crap

The drug they give now is isotrentinoin. A lot different from accutane. My father took accutane when it first came out. It cured his acne and he is perfectly healthy. I just want people to know cancer is not destined to happen.

How many days of gap between those repeats can you please tell me? My dermatologist prescribed me to take 1 week on and 3 weeks off and 3 repetitions of this cycle

That's great! I'm in New York and you have to get blood drawn every time

I feel safer getting it done every month

@@ZoeMiyoko I’m in NY and they are telling me only to do blood work every 6 months. My dermatologist that is.

@@mikab5232 oh wow! I think some people are different but definitely do your research

@@mikab5232 I’m in NY, too and I took a blood test every month during my course. The benefits far outweigh the cons. Well in my case. It literally saved my sanity. I got off it. It’s been two years and my face gotten back worst again. Now I’m going to go back on it again.

I took acutane for 8 months, I didn't start seeing a difference until 4 months in. However, when I started seeing a difference my skin started clearing up very quickly. I had genetic cystic acne that hurt and now I've been off of acutane for a year and I haven't gotten a pimple since

@@corniedog8702 did you make any change to your diet at all whenever it started to work? Also, did you drink any alcohol? I’ve drank some beer and am wondering if that’s killing it’s efficiency.

@@MrDillon45 DONT DRINK BEER !! especially on accutane thats what gives you pimples dude stop this shit and alcohol too its the best way to get pimples for me its even worse than sugar and fat and i think that i saw some advices that said not to drink alcohol during accutane and i dont know why you made me laugh for the "im a big guy 6'2 200" But yeah it takes aa looot of timd dont worry i have 6pimples rn even tho im in month 4 and your dosage seems quite low for me im taking 40mg even tho im only 5'5 and 105

@@iwanttokillmyself206 lol thanks I was just giving my size for reference. I watch RU-vid and there’s small girls on 80 mg from the start. The dosage and consensus on it seems to be all over the place. Thanks for the help though I think it’s the beer doing it to me too tbh.

What about sexual health?

@@mahbubabegum1826 I’m doing good there :)

How long did you take the drug for?

@@Gwyn 1yr and a half

@@timothyperry3850well that’s why. You’re not supposed to take this drug longer than 6 months

Opposite happens for me. My acne’s worse when dairy free,. By far.

No its just because you were an adult i tried that during my teens of course it worked i cut sugar like bread candies dairy fat everything but i still got some acne it wzs definitely better but one day i wzs so sad so frustrated so i ate some biscuits but nothing that bad and then bam 3-2 big pimples that hurt so yeah youve to be really serious and never eat dairy and everything ever again and if you do that you get pimples then you get sad then you eat even more sugar and i was so argh angry i kicked everything around me i hated that because i could do everything but i'll still get some pimples and if i do an extreme diet its to get the PERFECT skin if not i give up and take roaccutane so yeah i tried everything but im still for the healthy diet ofc

Me too 😭 I have to take one every couple of months, and it sucks. But it's worth it

@@audreymurray1544 omg what are they actually like! I’ve never ever had a blood test so it’s literally new to me, I have my referral soon so pretty sure that’s when they take blood and I’m scared I’m going to pass out😭 It’s not even the pain it’s just the feeling of blood coming out that freaks me

@@so_5464 it's not that bad, I mean, you feel the needle, but that's about it, if you look away and distract yourself, you'll be good

@@so_5464 bruh their not taking an entire bag. They take a minuscule tube of blood and you physically cannot feed the blood leaving ur body all you feel is the tiny pinch.

was the accutane making u have bad livers or did u already have problems with ur liver before ?

your bleed needs to be drawn each month to make sure your body is handling the drug well. its possible for it to effect your liver etc.

For how many days did you take 20mgs? How long did it take to clear out? Can you please give me some updates?

Lollll yeah they make sure you get in usually

I’m about a year and a half after taking it and am still getting small bumps but nothing painful and under the skin! I definitely think it’s worth it if nothing has worked for you

@@ZoeMiyoko I thank you for getting back to me. Probably will then, happy TG btw

@@ezettina good luck ❤️

@@ZoeMiyoko thank you dear! You too in all ur pursuits in life 🫶🏻

@@ezettinacan you please give us some updates on your acctane journey? 🥹

I’m on 16 th day and got so scared

@@ninokhatiashvili1309 my brother didnt get anything and its been 10years since he finished accutzne

​@@ninokhatiashvili1309 how is your skin now?

I do.

Me too

I did not! But I was also seeing a therapist during treatment.

It doesn’t matter as long as you are consistent with time! I used to take mine after breakfast

You are not supposed to drink on it but talk to your doctor about it!

@@ZoeMiyokoI did, and she said I can eat and drink anything but online it says differently so I’m not sure 😭

@@Bighirsch2 I think dermatologists say different things I would just drink in moderation. When I was on it I would have a drink once in a while.

it'll go back to original after treatment. make sure to apply reapply sunscreen every 3 hrs during the day.

@@nishithareddy8742 I already completed the treatment 2months ago how many more months do I have to wait 😶

@@Anonymous00013 did it make your entire body darker or just your face ? You can try chemical peels to get it to its original color if it’s just your face from sun damage. Check out dr Alexis Stephens on RU-vid she gives great advice on hyperpigmentation and chemical peels and really all kinds of skin care information on colored skin. I hope this helps you! Also let me know if your skin went back to its original color! I’m going to be taking accutane soon.

too.

Hey did it come back to its original shade and how much mg wer u taking?

Dont worry i got every side effects like flr exemple dry eyes to the point where they were red for 1weeks then dry mouth like the inside for 2weeks then nausea for 3weeks and....

I know you are supposed to not drink alcohol while taking the medication not sure about vaping but definitely ask your doctor

Definitely talk to your doctor!

Yes!

This is my latest one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yWWeSY_Ji3U.html

Yes!

Yes but dont overdo

I’m not sure, definitely ask your dermatologist!

I believe the minimum is 6 months but it depends!

Insurance should cover it! It’s typically the same as a regular prescription would cost

I would talk to your doctor!

@@ZoeMiyoko no ma'am I just want to know whether I can take it on periods or not? Does it causes overbleeding?

@@himakshikalita9427 I didn’t have any issues but I am not an expert

I wasn't affected but definitely something to ask your doctor!

It’s different for everyone! Some people have to go on it twice but it should go away

@@ZoeMiyoko did u suffer with any hair problem ?

@@nishithareddy8742 none!

Yes!

What is that

@@jameswilliams6002 Accutane

Crohn's disease affects 1 in every 500 to 700 people bro... blaming Accutane is a stretch

@@Chopper650 yeah my dermatologist said that accutane flares chrons, doesn’t cause it

She said she's only on month 2 in this

You're implying that this drug is still in the middle of testing... It's not

This drug has been taken by over 2 million people and has been used for decades to treat acne…

No one is a Guinea pig when taking this and most use this as their last resort….

@@paceyaguilar1750 I'm on it now and it does Mae me paranoid tons of people report permanent ED and other weird problems
