Beware of isotretinoin!!!

ad

I noticed that many people use isotretinoin (Accutane) during and post cycle to control their acne. Please, do yourselves a favor and stay away from this drug! I did a 4 month course of Accutane 2 years ago and now have permanent effects as a result. Namely, erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, and anxiety. The problems began about 2-3 weeks into Accutane, and have persisted ever since. I have never used AAS before, so it is not a result of that! If you're skeptical, just Google it! I can't wait until there is a class action one day. Please guys, leave Accutane alone. It has destroyed my sex life.

Sorry if this was in the wrong section.

The BB community usually uses small doses of it. Like anywhere from 5 to 20mg ed or eod. Mostly I think it's around 10mg... I suppose sides are minimised at those doses.

That is only one website describing the problems some people experience after isotretinoin. There are many more.

Accutane and all the side effects are on the bottle and are documented and well known. It's a choice we take. Slap yourself...the Accutane didn't make you take it

Actually there have been multiple class action suits against manufacturers of Accutane. There is a reason why the original manufacturer pulled it off the market, despite the fact that they made a fortune from it. There is a suit currently going on for irritable bowel syndrome. If these warnings we're documented, you wouldn't have the ability to sue. I am also not claiming that I was forced to take it. These permanent effects are not common, but they do occur. Many people have significantly reduced quality of life as a result of Accutane. I am currently in touch with an attorney and will probably file suit soon. Pardon me for trying to be of service to my fellow man. You probably won't suffer these effects, but a small percentage do.

Never had or heard of people they had the same prob. Dry lips, dry eyes are the main probs after the cycle. Either u took way too much or bunk gear!

I took Accutane under the care of a dermatologist, for acne not related to AAS. Once again, I've never juiced. I took 80mg/day. I was not warned about sexual dysfunction with Accutane. A simple Google search will yield a lot of information about it, however.

There is nothing about "permanent" effects in any pamphlet. Who cares if it was temporary? I wouldn't.

if I run tren then kitchen appliances are the only ones I can carry on a conversation with without wanting to kill someone but my toaster and I are on the outs right now due to a major fight over who burnt my toast. Was it I because I left it in there to long or was it him because he had to toast non gluten free toast who knows if we'll ever get to the bottom of this and become friends again. Don't know!!!!!!.
