fine on me. Plus they can see it was designed to treat brain cancer and also is "linked" to depression. But yes my friends it effected me in jeeze just about every way :/

Well, if we ever have a day in court where they try to say Accutane doesn't affect the brain, we can just send Alan to the stand.

BTW If you're like me you don't feel hungry correctly after accutane. Let your self get hungry before you eat. And DO not believe about 5 small meals a day, just more modern bullshit. My favorite after work is patato, slab of cow (ribeye! Mm), and cold glass of real milk. I eat that nearly every other night. No butter no adds. It's hard but I don't eat during the day because I think accutane made me just generally interolant to food. I get real sluggish after meals. If I do though, have a lunch, its an apple orange or if I can score one a mango

Just trying to help. It's been working for me. Even my bathroom trips have gone from yellow diaraheea to solid. It might be tmi there haha. Sorry about being the crazy guy.

I understand what you are saying dude. 6-12 hr fasting is an important healing process. It is one of the only known ways to replicate cells internally. So, I hear what you're saying. But, it's not a complete solution to our other issues. But, yes, fasting can help alleviate IBS and other internal symptoms caused by Accutane.

I guess fasting, eating rawraw and injesting cannabis is about as good as we can do

I always joke about taking more accutane for my accutane side effects. I suppose that's not funny because we're all pissed off but lol. I say that though because I didn't notice my side effects until after I stopped the course.

Have any of these numbers had any meaning or has anyone found out more about the upregulation thing because I am fucking confused and still feel like ass

By the way I'm baked. and follow this thread like a beaten dog.

Wow rereading this I don't sound as normally accutaned as I do. I think this weed is working.

My thought is that hopefully we can regenerate some stomach absorbtion through eating good bacteria to live and repopulate our tract?

It just FEELS like the right thing to do. I am not scared of anything natural like unprocessed and at the worst case I get food poisoning once per two months. Go out back and throw it up. Undercooked meat or bad chicken seems to do it. Chicken is kinda shitty and scary.

But honestly eating good is easy for me because I'm rich, rich in knowledge ya know and I know that I can try new things, and will never taste the same twice. It's learning to cook. Fish cow elk more tomatos bell peppers un processed local bacon, tomatos arr the only thing you can trust from safeway. Still prob modified. Lol. Water, beer, turkey, make home made mash patatos smoked salmon from Silvana meats look them up if you're really bored they are my butcher shop here where I live. A little hut sells good patatos I found and yeah man there is all kinds of accutane foods u just gotta eat raw like a man. Not a bitch that snacks on candies. Lol. OK so if you have to snack man get a damn cup of coffee and slap yourself instead no crappy food! Stay healthy.

I understand what you are saying dude. 6-12 hr fasting is an important healing process. It is one of the only known ways to replicate beta cells in the internal organs. So, I know where you are coming from. But, it's not a complete solution to our other neurological issues. But, yes, this can help alleviate IBS and other internal symptoms caused by Accutane.

Not trying to be cocky I'm just killing time. Bored. Accutaned. Its hard to not have anxiety around people.accutane changed me. It's sad. I'm sad. I like a girl but can't communicate how I want too. I appear weird now. Too slow. Depressed. Fog. Embarrassment. Living hell on a steady metronome. It could get better but the fog is too weird. Accutane is fucking weird. No wonder people don't understand. Only we know. It is indescribable. Where is the fucking FDA. Nothing will happen because we appear healthy. We are not healthy. You overdosed us on vitamin a. Our bones creak and eyes burn motherfuckers. I said where is the FDA.

Lol.so. friends. Fucking family. I am begging in the middle of this fourms virtual stage in the spot light asking what the hell can we do?

Nothing about my brain is the same after this retinoid garbage man I have had that happen a few times too where I see someone and its not them

It's been 3 years since I took the drug, and still have some neurological issues. Just general forgetfulness and reduced focus. I feel like I've lost 50 IQ points, and it affects my work.
Pretty much every stranger looks familiar to me, but I can never place how. I just figure Las Vegas is a "small world" and I've probably seen these people around town before.

Bro you are not alone just look the second post after your own post !

-MISSCHRISY

this member told the same side effect just like you.

I dont have brain issue like you , but there is studies who had proved accutane effect the brain and hipocampus. check them out.

Propeciahelp.com can help you btw.

Accutane is the devils drug , the company Roche should notgo away with no law charges , many people died and suicide because of Accutane.
This drives me crazy..
If my problems will not go away in few years i bet im going to take a revenge for all of ussomehow.
Nearlly noneof the side effects people fighting with heretold by ourdoctorsand company Roche.

World is totally away from justice..
Money talks , our life means nothing for these companies..

i will be there for the rrevenge on the company. Why has the building not gone up in smoke already?

My eyes are very light-sensitive nowadays and feel wierd when I move them. I'm not sure does finasteride have part in this. I stopped taking it few months ago, but it haven't helped. Anyone else having this?

Hey, first time posting. I've been following this for a long time and still no golden bullet fix. But I gotta say I feel a lot better than I did last year. Took it 40mg a day twice a day for 6 months ending February of 2014. First symptoms were intense stomach rumbling but no other GI issues. Took primal defense probiotics and it worked for the rumbles so I kept popping them and think I pretty much gave myself SIBO lol. After that, constipation-diarrhea mixed, uncomfortableness, bloating, nausea became regular and quite depressing. I think I always tended on the depressive side and I always had anxiety so I don't know how much it changed after accutane. As for the fogginess and general lack of motivation, I was vaping all day every day for an entire year, including the six months I was on accutane so I don't know if it was directly a cause but it's still there.

I've been trying lots of different things and focusing on getting healthy in general not just "fixing" the accutane side effects, though there is value in doing so and I'm glad this thread exists and people are active and not just bitching, but really getting into the science. Most of my fog, lack of motivation, forgetting people's names, short term memory loss, and general depressiveness seems to be resolved after a year of a higher fat, healthier carb diet. A mix between Grace Liu's 7 step SIBO diet and the Bulletproof Diet (both of which aren't perfect, like any diet), and it took a while to figure out what foods make me feel a certain way. Bulletproof coffee changed my life but I don't want it to sound like a plug for it so I'll leave it at that.

What I wanted to ask is, is there anything that specifically helped you guys? Like any specific supplements or foods or lifestyle changes? Even a 5% change is worth it in my opinion? Any golden nuggets?? And not theoretical stuff, actual stuff that you felt a benefit from??

No, you probably don't have SIBO, but rather some form of IBS like many many others. My research is showing that Accutane destroys a lot of lactobacilli and other various bacilli in its process increasing the chances of developing IBS or IBD. Probiotics are quite strong and may disrupt internal processes so I wouldn't advise taking them if you are suffering from Accutane side effects. No gold nuggets just yet, but this thread has about 300 pages of bronze nuggets worth sifting through.

You hit it with eating animal fat.

What has the bulletproof coffee helped with, I'm assuming improved mental clarity and concentration? Are the effects only for a period after drinking it, or has this resulted in any sort of progressive improvement inany way?

Like said dudr animal fat and farm food least thing you need is more additives which also kill bacteria and the life of food. No reason left to go to Walmart except for a nice coffee pot and blender. Mix it up. Accutane sucks

Just wanted to come on here briefly and say that a well known ND, Ben Lynch, confirmed that liver flushing is indeed an effective method for detoxing the body.Also, he said the Hubbard sauna & niacin detoxification protocol is extremely effective as well. It's used in clinics to this very day. Here's the sauna detox FB group: [Edited link out] Don't attempt the protocol without studying it extensively.

Be sure to tune in this week for the SHEICON 2015 live streaming with Dr. Lynch. You'll learn some amazing things that will greatly improve your health.

More than anything, it works on my mood and motivation. I'm a musician in a messed up living environment, so having the mental fortitude and willingness to get out of my situation is what really matters and is the main motivation for getting healthy. The coffee allows me to stay focused on a task longer, clears some fog (not all the way), and helps me handle my day better with less anxiety and ADD.You definitely gotta train your mind to work in the ways you want it to, and you need to be in a decent mood and at least somewhat energeticto keep telling yourself to push through it and all that butter and mct helps me daily.I also took lots of supplements in the last year (spent thousands)so I don't know if it was the coffee specifically that helped long term, but theres a definite short term boost in productivity and it's helping me achieve my goals on a daily basis. It's not a magicbullet but it's a hell of a gun. I will say though, the effect isn't constant in terms of level of benefitbut it's always noticable.

On another note, does anyone here take any colostrum supplement? Why does it make me feel so chill, kinda like the bulletproof coffee, but low grade and longer lasting?

Any ideas on reengineering gut flora? Weed, seed, and feed seems to have worked for me to fix the problem somewhat, though I just started.I read through a lot and have been following for a while,but I can't go through too much before all the depressing posts get to me lol

WHAT

Give it a rest Alan.

Did I say something wrong?

No, he's just legit crazy.

Thanks bud, your crazy too then so there ya go. Yes, Back to basics skip the research and supplimentation. Eat well (if you know what that entitles) take some damn ibuprofen and dont waste away here on the accutane thread like i do.

Clearly we got fucked. Sorry broo but only time will tell if each individual can get better and we really have to get to page 3000 before i pipe up and say hello eat farm fresh live bacteria foods. Bam ALL you can do. Plus ibuprofen. .. lol!

no
