Hey there, bruv. If I have to be perfectly honest with you, avoiding vitamins sounds like a really bad idea to me. Avoiding vitamins means that you would have to inevitably avoid certain foods. This means that you will have a poor diet and eventually you will cause more damage that it's already done. Please think it through before doing anything irrational. There is no way that you could force yourself not to touch a group of foods for a prolonged period of time, not to mention that you shouldn't. And more importantly by doing that you will probably increase the shedding. Balanced diet is key when fighting such irregularities.

 

On the other hand, this theory sounds like...utter bullshit to me. Avoiding all fat soluble vitamins because you have overdosed on one (that has a different structure and effect on the body)? There is no way that could be backed up medically. Please consult with a doctor.

Wow it's depressing to read that even the creator of this threads hair stopped shedding within 9 months.
I've been shedding over two years now with no end it sight, with no regrowth to speak of..and so so dry and brittle now..

I must be compleltey screwed

 

I see your posts all the time, and I am so sorry for all the negative experiences that you have had while on this drug. I'm trying to find experiences of people who have suffered hair loss after discontinuing Accutane. I've seen many posts of people complaining about their hair loss, but I've seen only a handful of people follow up with their original posts, so there really aren't any answers from people yet.

 

You said your hair has been shedding over 2 years now. If that's the case, you're probably bald or very close to it. One cannot lose hair for that long without regeneration, and NOT be bald. If you have pictures, or can clarify what you mean, I would really appreciate it and I'm sure others would, too.

Killertofutoca - Do you suffer from hairloss? Also, if you suffer from Chronic TE then yes it can last for years and you not loose all your hair!
