I took the world's worst legal TOXIN known as Accutane in 1997 when I was 16 and a virgin and have literally been in a living hell ever since. By far the worst mistake of my life!!!!!!! I thought the FDA made sure drugs were safe for public consumption?? Boy was I wrong...dead wrong possibly. I guess the FDA takes the wait n see approach? Can you imagine allowing a damn drug onto the market and you don't even know exactly how it works? The exact mechanism of Accutane is unknown? WTF? Prove how it works then approve it....right? Well that's what the FDA did and it ruined my life along with my brothers. In the FDA's defense nothing like Accutane was ever created so I think they were taken off guard. At least I never thought a drug could be so permanetly destuctive. Taking Accutane for me and my brother was worse than actually dying, even though I am because of my Kidney. Whoever or whomever passed Accutane has a lot, and I mean a lot of blood on their hands. Every fetus that came out deformed, every poor kid that killed themselves etc. I just hope GOD makes anyone who knowingly put profits ahead of lives pay and pay dearly for what they may have knowingly did. They actually gave an award to Dr. Gary Peck aka "SATAN" who invented/created this toxin which makes me cringe. I learned the hard way that if something is too good to be true it always is. The only reason I took Accutane/Toxin was because it worked for my mother. She would rave about it all the time when I was young. She literally said to me it's a "miracle drug" and I quote "Everybody should take it". After I heard her say that I was sold and was dead set on taking it at the first sign of acne, which I later did and regret every single day.I remember clear as day getting home and was surprised to see that Accutane came in a box, and the pills were in foil. It said pregnant women shouldn't handle or take it. Red flags went up and I was thinking this stuff is legal and easily obtained so it has to be safe right? WRONG, I underestimated greed and thought it went through a lot of testing on humans. Just thinking a company made tens of Billions off literally poisoning people makes me sick.
Now I'm 31 and I just found out that 100% it had to be Accutane that ruined me. It is the only medicine, and it should be called "The SEX KILLER DRUG" I've ever taken besides over the counter meds. After I believe a few weeks into my 6 month dosing schedule I began to not be able to maintain errections and lost almost all the feeling in the head of my penis along with a disconnected/numbness feeling, like my penis wasn't a part of me. If you've taken Accutane young and are male you might know what Im talking about. I literally went from being rock hard and horny all the time to a pathetic joke and still am at 31. I never had a girlfriend in my life because I couldn't/can't perform.....again sad but true. I tried over & over and it usually ended up with me losing my erection being embarassed and never wanting to see the girl again due to total and utter embarassment. I still remember the first sign of impotence in 1997. I was very confused and alarmed -sad but 100% true. Little did I know that's how I would stay the rest of my life. My libido has been almost zero ever since taking that horrible toxin.
My brother took Accutane in 1996 and was the major reason I took it. He had really bad acne and it cleared him up pretty well. So I didn't want to get bad acne so I went on Accutane/Toxin as a precaution, which makes my story all the more horrible. At the first sign of a few pimples I told my brothers dematologist I wanted to go on accutane because I heard it cleared acne up for life. The Dermatologist was a little reluctant but said ok. A year after my brother was on Accutane/Toxin he confided in me that he couldn't keep erections well and said he really had no feeling in the head of his penis. I was uterly shocked because I was going through the same issue. I thought it was genectic because I was so sold on Accutane being safe I never correlated the two. His friend also experienced the exact same side effects. Think about it? The only 3 males I have known to take Accutane ie.myself, my brother and his friend all started to become impotent weeks into their course and have been that way 15 years later. There is no way it could have come from anywhere else but Accutane that is why I'm so adament it was Accutane that destroyed out sex lives/lives permanetly. Ater reading postings on here I had my DHT level checked and it is a mere 14.
I didn't put the two together until just recently and to say Im mortified would be an understatement.The sad part is I didn't even have bad acne. My mother took Accutane in 1983 and told me it was a" Miracle Drug".That is why I asked the dermatologist for it, and he reluctently did. He gave me 40mg for 3 months then 40mg/80mg alternating days the following 3 months.I suffered horrible depression, suicidal idealation, really bad aggession and a lot other side effects as well. I have kidney disease now and I have no family history or diabetes and never have taken any other medications so it had to be Accutane that destroyed my kidney. I never abused any drugs or alcohol either. Accutane has literally made my life a "living hell" as it has done to many. Too bad Roche didn't listen to Dr. Pezzi in 1991 or I could've been saved along with my brother and friend who also suffer from sexual dysfunction and zero libido and loss of feeling as a result of Accutane .For those unfamiliar with Dr. Kevin Pezzi he is a dermatologist who himself became impotent and contacted Roche numerous times dating back to 1991 about this horrible side effect.
But why would Roche listen? It would've literally costed them tens of Billions. This problem has to be widespread but it's exteremly hard to talk about, especially to a doctor who would probably not believe you.anyway. Roche had to know about this and knew disclosing this info would scare a lot of people away and open themselves to lawsuits. How could they not know? I hate Hoffmann-La Roche with a passion so deep that words cannot describe.I was wondering if hormone therapy or any other method could reverse this. After doing a lot of research I doubt it besides taking Viagra. Should I try hormone therapy or is that a waste of time? I wouldn't give Accutane to my worst enemy! It's literally cruel and unusual punishment. It would have been better for Roche to kill me. I literally feel as though I lived 1,000 deaths and I'm not exaggerating. I hope GOD makes Roche pay, because they had to know.I was living the dream until I took Accutane then the wheels fell off.
Before Accutane I never had a single sucidal thought, or was aggessive or had any obsessive thoughts or anxiety whatsoever. I really mean that, I was happy, now it's the opposite. There are 50 known listed side effects for Accutane and I got about the worst 10. I guess my body chemistry was just right to be affected? All I know for sure is before Accutane I was the completly normal and as soon as I went on Accutane I became extremely depressed, very Irritable ie. snapping on people, aggressive ie. got into fights my senior year, kicked off the baseball team/ school. I had crazy sucicdal thoughts a lot. And just had no interest in girls anymore. Also, I suffered from severve dry eyes which really screwed me up playing baseball before I lost my temper and got kicked off the team. I never smile or laugh anymore either does my brother and we both used to smile and laugh all the time before Accutane, this still persists to this day. If I didn't live It I wouldn't think believe it but it's what happened to me. Accutane really ruined my mind, body and soul. I guess that will happen when your pumping 40/ 80mg a day of 13-cis-retinoic acid in your developing body.Think about how ignorant my dermatologist was. He was giving a 16 year old boy who had literally a few pimples 80 mg a day of a retinoid that was proven to harm developing minds/nervous systems. My body is all messed up now, I just got diagnosed with IBS, and Kidney disease, and Generalized anxiety disorder. I just can't believe I'm a victim of corporate greed. My monocytes are low and the only two ways those are low is from toxin damage or chemotherapy ie Accutane. Thanks Hoffman La Roche for ruing my life along with tens of thousands. I hope all you corporate wigs burn in hell for profiting off hurting people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there.
First of all, I agree 100% with what you said.
You aren't crazy. This drug does these things.
I, too, suffer from digestive problems (undiagnosed), sexual dysfunction and other horrible effects because of this drug.
You can follow my video series on www.youtube.com/fireyourdoctor if you wish.
I'd urge you to make a video so we can spread the word better and protect people from this poison.
I have spent many, many times doing the same as you - Shouting about what's happened.
I probably will in the future.
However, we need to accept (this doesn't mean agree with) what's happened.
Yes, we must continue to fight the battle against Roche (and the FDA who are just as bad) and that's why I'm doing the videos.
But it'll do no good to hold all that anger.
This is all very real, but part of the problem is our unwillingness to let the anger go.
Whatever has happened to us is unchangable.
We may never have a 'real' life, a sex drive, good health.
But we can treat our bodies as best as possible.
We mustn't underestimate the damage caused by this drug.
Stress is unavoidable, especially in these circumstances.
But we can actively start to enjoy life.
Focus on what you DO have.
Start doing things that you enjoy.
Certain things aren't under our control.
It's extremely frustrating when you can't have what you want most (good health in this case), but the world has dealt it's cards.
It's up to us how we play the game now.
If we keep thinking our lives are over, we will live pointless lives.
We have to keep motivated. Keep strong.
That's all for now.
I'm sorry you're going through this too.
