thats good news rolph because that is not a sign om MPB. hairs all over my body have thinned but are not falling out like hairs on my head...
yea but Im trying to not let it bother me anymore. I was gonna go to a party tonight but I stayed home because I felt worthless and depressed because of the hair falling out. I also have ocd so it makes it worse. I wake up in the morning and my hair is the first thing on my mind.
i have ocd too amd i have missed tons of parties and social events over the last few years due to acne and now my hair. look at it this way, if you are losing your hair now would be the best time to party and live your life to its fullest because now you still have your hair and your dignity. now if i could only follow my own advice...
Think we are all the same as i have been diagnosed with OCD aswell, first thing i do on wakeing is count the number of hairs on my pillow LOL. I haven't been arsed the last few days mind you, due to the fact that it isn't going to change over night now and i realise that.
gosh.... i think accutane also affected my hair in a huge proportion.. i just shaved my hair actually hair cut it very short and i remarked that is very rare , also my mom said that whats happening with my hair coz in the top of my head is very very rare...
This sucks .... is going to grow back? Anybody have seen a growth after finishing tane?

Thats why I would be too afraid to cut it short. Not that I would want to.
just side note as of other side effects from accutane. to go along with the hair loss has anyone noticed that they are much paler now after accutane. i used to get really dark in the summer and my face would tan easily and get dark etc. now however, it seems that not only won't my face tan at all it's even more resistant to the sun. my body gets somewhat dark like it used to but my face is as pale as a ghost and it's july here.
I think my hair might be thinning slightly also. I am roughly 5 months post-accutane. It's not too much though. I think my hair loss might be stress-related however, considering how I was on low dose and had no other side effects. I went through a lot a few months ago and I may have had a nervous breakdown (Just for the record, I don't blame the accutane for this; my life totally fell apart and I was alone and stuck at a college I hated that was 4 hours away from home.)
My hair just seems slightly thinner than I remember. My mom has cut my hair for most of my life and she says my hair seems the same as it always has, so I don't know. I seem to have about 30-40 hairs a day fall out that I notice. The hair isn't brittle at all, but it's hard to tell because I have very short hair. My hair just seems overall thinner and I swear it's thin near the front. Baldness doesn't really run in my family and my mother's father is 75 years old with thick hair.
Any thoughts on this?

haha Ive always been kinda pale so I wouldnt notice a difference
by the way today I noticed something, I mentioned my pubic hair thinning out a lot but today when I looked I noticed a lot of very small light colored hairs coming in in that region. Im guessing thats a good sign.
how is eveyone's hair loss coming along? i'm still losing a lot. hopefully it comes to a halt soon.
I lose no more than 15 hairs a day, if that. My shedding has stopped. But if the shedding has stopped, why aren't I regrowing hair? That question is what's freaking me out. The texture of my hair is almost back to normal, however. Today it was slightly oily, which was great. But I really am worried about regrowth.
just give it time. i would kill to not have to worry about shedding.
edit; i just showered and i lost sooo many hairs. were talking 40-70. i'm getting so frustrated with this happening. my hair used to be so much more full of hair and it's so depressing looking at what it's become. taking accutane was the biggest mistake of my life to this point and this last 4 and a half months have been absolutely brutal to go through. i'm becoming so depressed i can't even describe it. i just want the shedding to stop, but i'm losing hope as the days go on.

Same here, David. Same here.
You know, maybe I stopped shedding because I would cause myself to shed. Everyday, I would rub my head furiously until no more fell out. I would usually lose about 200 a day that way. Maybe I effectively pulled out all the hairs that were going to shed, and ended my shedding phase earlier that way?
i took two 30 mg pills and started to lose hair right away so i decided accutane wasnt for me, this was like three weeks ago and ive lost quite a bit of hair just from those two pills.
It has gotten a little better but the fact is im still losing hair from such a small amount of accutane and im glad i decided to stop.
If i had done a full course im positive id be completly bald.

it's possible, because i used to avoid combing my hair and not washing it regularly just to avoid losing hairs. maybe i've prolonged it by doing this. who really knows, i just wish it would stop.
i just looked at the top part on my head and there were a few hairs that i noticed that were between 1-3cm long. they are causing a lot of frizz on top of my head. is it possible that this is regrowth from a few months ago? i only saw a few, but the parts in my hair haven't really taken a hit and they are still a milimeter wide so it's hard to really find any small hairs. there's also the fact my hair is basically blonde when it's tiny and makes it very hard to see.
