Hi,

Does someone tried Creatine Monohydrate supplements ?

This help with fatigue, maintain good erection, decrease Triglycerides (and improve blood circulation/pressure), help hydration in the body, decrease homocystein (MTHFR deficiency), help methylation, depression/anxiety, increase sperm production, etc

anything that can reverse what accutane does would be a benefit.

Retinoic acid can increase AQP3 expression in HaCaT cells, with significant effects observed with 0.010 mg/mL isotretinoin treatment for 12 h. The side effects, namely skin and mucosa dryness caused by retinoic acid might be related to its effects on AQP3 expression.

Nicotinamide seems interesting. As far as I can tell, nicotinamide is just a form of vitamin b3 ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33196157/ ) and I think is similar to niacinamide? Its unclear if there is a difference. Theres a lot of safety/dosage information on niacinamide but not much on nicotinamide.

Per webmd up to 1500 mg of niacinamide taken daily can be safe. https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1534/niacinamide . That said, thats way above the recommended dosage. 500mg is ~3000% recommended daily dosage.

Im already taking 100mg niacinamide in a b complex supplement, but I think Im going to try ramping up to 500mg.

Also, Im considering nicotinamide riboside, which is a similar form but may be more readily available to convert to NAD+. Im gonna give both a shot.

@Thomas76I tried bananas after after a long time and my skin dryness got worse. Maybe because of the sugar? I didn't change anything else in my life.

 

Nicotinamide sounds interesting. First the reducing sebum sounded bad, because I've been thinking that my dryness problems are due to lack of sebum, but maybe it's lack of water in skin and I don't have lack of sebum. Maybe I will trynicotinamide after I run out of ashwagandha. Feels like that has helped with skin dryness somewhat.

 

 

I've tried niacin and nico and they made me worse. It's possible the bananas caused a herx reaction in you. I'm doing organic banana with lactose free skim milk smoothies twice daily with little if anything in between. It definitely seems to be stirring accutane up as I'm loaded with anger and rage from it. Anger/rage are unavoidable temporary emotions that typically come up from a deep detox.

No more supplements for me. I think if I were to do any supplements it would be kyolic garlic, but I don't think that's necessary. Lymphatic flow and prebiotics/promoting good gut bugs I believe are the biggest keys. Bananas help with of both of those. The smoothies with milk makes them tolerable long term daily.

Yes this is a serious problem. I've been able to find one that has:

- no fragrance
- no parabens (chemical preservatives that mimic estrogen)
- no high PUFA seed oils (e.g. sunflower, soy, palm etc)

The brand I use at the moment is called Dermeze, but I buy it locally in my country and I'm not sure if it's available overseas.I tried other ones that didn't satisfy the above criteria and they caused a mild skin reaction (temporary reddening/inflammation).

I would definitely try to find one that

1. avoids what I listed above
2. has aa shorter list of ingredients than comparable products
3. of its ingredients hasmore natural ones

Thanks for sharing the dermeze brand info. And I agree with you completely about accutane causing an overactive immune system. My machine confirms that. High WBC constantly. Also high angiotensin constantly. I just feel that lymphatics and prebiotics are the biggest keys to recover.

Hi guys, I've done some reading of the thread and have been following it on and off for a while now.

I wanted to share my own story, in the hopes that maybe it will help some of you.I've put a list of specific things that helped me at the bottom of this post, but I highly encourage you to read my whole post to understand exactly how I reached healing from roaccutane.

My story:

I was on a heavy dose of roaccutane for almost a year when I was 19. I got all the classic symptoms; depression, dry & thin skin, hair loss.

After stopping roaccutane the symptoms began to slowly disappear. However, my body was weakened considerably, and the symptoms began to return strongly over the next 2 to 3 years.

--

Over the next 5 years I tried a range of different supplements, researching and trying to do it on my own. There were hits and misses along the way, but nothing like a total reversal.

One of the biggest breakthroughs I had was when I finally gave up and went looking for professional help. I went to a naturapath (holistic, herbal remedy type stuff) - and while they didn't do anything amazing, they patiently listened to me, agreed with and supported me, and helped me to feel like I wasn't alone.

We underestimate severely how much stress and mental health is a part of post-accutane recovery. It is absolutely essential! If you aren't calm and at peace, how can you ever have the strength to do all the small things that it takes to care for yourself properly? Suddenly you aren't sleeping, then you're not functioning well, more stress on the body etc. etc. round it goes.

--

The best advice I can give anyone in this thread is to be patient. Consider that there may not ever be a 'total cure'.

There's a really good chance that there has been permanent damage done to your body, and the best course of action you can take is to learn to care for your body, and enjoy the best quality of life you can, without things that you may used to have had and taken for granted.

There is no silver bullet. But there are things that you can do slowly.Consider that you will have to spend the rest of your life not researching for an instant cure, but building the foundations of a new, personal health lifestyle, which gives you the best health, by, in part, taking the least amount of effort to uphold.

--

The second biggest breakthrough I had was when I recently visited a dermatologist. I know that this can be a shocking thing to do, considering that for most of us this was the person who we hold directly responsible for all our problems. It took me 10 years...a decade, to decide to go back to where I started.

The final catalyst for this decision was that I started only recently to develop very, very dry hands. This had never happened before, so I went to the dermatologist, and was prescribed an ointment. However,this is the important part.While I was there, the dermatologist told me thatmy skin barrier was weakened from roaccutane, and that I ought to moisturise my entire body daily, to support it.

Up until this point, like many of you, I was fighting constantly against digestive related issues, candida, inflammation.All of this started to disappear almost immediately after I began to daily moisturise my entire body.

The dermatologist hit on something that I had never considered was a part of my problems post-accutane.The immune system.The immune system, he said, essentially 'lives' in the skin. Our skin is our first defence against the outside world, and without a proper barrier, it cant help but be overwhelmed and taken for a 'joy-ride' by any sort of bacteria or invader. For me,this was largely why I had so many digestive-tract related issues and went away almost immediately after beginning to build up the skin barrier with daily moisturising. Also, moisturising is crucial tohydration, which is another big issue when you have no skin barrier post-accutane. You lose the majority of your body's water (which it needs for everything, especially to fight inflammation) through a poor, thin skin.

--

Okay. It depends who you are. My problems aren't your problems. But seriously, please try and give your immune system a break by providing it with a thick, moisturised barrier each day. The dermatologist recommended a 'cream' level moisturiser (thicker and oilier than a 'lotion' but less thick and oily than an 'ointment'), however you can use an ointment too.

As soon as I started doing this, my burned out, confused immune system, which without a proper skin barrier had for years been on 'attack mode' all the time, finally started to quiet down and only activate when it actually needed to!

What does roaccutane literallydo? Make the skin unable to oil itself. So the skin breaks down, it can't support itself. Then your immune system has to be constantly activefor years. So your digestion and entire health suffers.

--

So to summarise - seek professional help from others. Ignore those that don't treat your condition seriously, and keep searching until you find someone who does.

Understand and accept that even though it may not feel like it - you are under a lot of stress, and your mental health is probably in need of support. Nobody can do it alone, and we are living in sickness. Be kind to yourself. Care for yourself.

My personal faith in God as a Catholic has helped me more than anything else that I've written above, and still continues to help me to this day. It's the only reason I've been able to find answers, to continue walking this path, and to find peace, acceptance, joy and healing.

Keeping our eyes on a guiding light while we take small steps every day is the only way to heal from the damage that accutane has done. If we are hyper-focused and looking only at each step that we make, we will never make it. We simply won't have the strength or the patience.

Our bodies cannot heal in the way we try to force them. They aren't build for radical swings and changes. They are built forhomeostasis. Constant equilibrium. For every new supplement you take, your body will react to it totry to reach balance. Consider that your body is smarter than you give it credit for. A lot of the 'bad symptoms' you get are the body's way to avoideven worse ones and simply to keep you alive.

Love the body. Work with the body. It alone is the vehicle for your healing. You have to take it with you, not aggressively chop out parts of it you want to leave behind.

--

While I benefited a lot from seeking help from a naturapath and other professionals, the responsibility for my healing remains on me.

It's up to you to take care of yourself. The only healing that truly began for me was in the following phases:

1. Accepting that, like it or not, I was to blame for how I ended up, because I was my own responsibility. But that because I accepted responsibility,I was free and had the power to change.

2. Trust in God or a higher power. What is your life for? Figure this out. Maybe your accutane story was meant to happen to bring about a higher purpose in your life, and to force you to progress away from meaninglessness and emptiness. It is unavoidably one of the defining parts of your life. Accept it and gear it toward good.

Healing is a spiritual journey into your own life and trauma.You have to heal not only the body, but the mind and the soul. They each lead into each other. E.g. exercising thebody, leads to calmer mind,better decisions and less stress for thesoul, more acceptance and kindness, and so awareness and healing in thebody -and on and on, each leading into and building up the other.

--

By simply following the above two points you will have the right mindset and disposition to make good, rational choices, like allowing yourself the right amount of time to see if a new change of diet is working etc. Without this, you will have no way of making actual progress. We need to be sensible enough to be patient, to not want a quick fix, and to learn to live a holistic lifestyle of change that will take years, but will actually have effect. And along the way we will still be human beings, and have joys and sorrows, and live life fully, despite our sickness. That is life. This is what we are living and all that we can live.

Does a person born blind have any "less" of a life than one born healthy? No. They have a different one, but no less beautiful and significant.

We were healthy and then made sick, but how are we different from someone diagnosed with cancer, or who loses their legs?

Life is bigger than us and our desires. It's bigger than what we want.

I believe that God made us for a reason - wanted us to be sick for a reason. For the same reason that the person gets cancer, or a boy is born blind. To learn, to grow, to accept life and to realise that we dont have any answers, nor any claim to life. It is a gift, every day of it. Any day without pain or suffering. Any day that we can simply eat some sort of meal, and feel the sun on us, is more than many have or will have. We "deserve" none of it, and so can never be ungrateful nor unaccepting of any thing, good or bad.

--

For my part, I'm accepting of my past of accutane, and my future beyond it. What else can we do? I'm so glad for the pain and struggle of coming through ongoing accutane recovery, because of who it has made me. Accutane made me a better person, because it knocked me down and showed me that who I was, was wrong. And I saw that behind it was God and his will, and that that was the only thing that truly mattered.

Before accutane I was a drug user (class A recreational and very frequent marijuana), a chronic, frequent masturbator and sexual deviant, incredibly vain, arrogant, mean and evil.

It happened to be accutane, but it could just as easily have been cancer...it's whatever was needed to wake me up.

And I'm so glad I did. Because of God's "punishment" (more like the only way he could get through my stubborn walls and thick head) I have saved my relationships with my family, I have a truly blessed life where I have joy every day just being alive. AND, God's faithfulness meant that I am even slowly healing now from the accutane damage, by following his word and spirit in my life, in patience, kindness, and love to myself and others.

--

Truly my journey has been an overwhelmingly spiritual one, which has only at the end of it led to bodily healing. I hope everyone who reads this decides to start at the real, true beginning of your healing journey, by dealing with the trauma and inner turmoil you are facing and have faced, and discovering what your life is really meant to be about. I pray that you can let go of your pain and begin to heal by opening yourself up to the true immensity and beauty of life, with full surrender.

 

Post Script:

Please feel free to message me directly if you want further information or guidance. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear or skimmed over important sections. I'll try to respond to direct forum posts quoting areas of my text, so I can help clarify.

Below I am posting a short appendix of behaviour/diet that has helped me with healing from roaccutane. This is of limited importance because of what I've already noted abouthomeostasis(the fact that the body will always seek balance) and also that different actions are impacted by a huge range of different factors such as time (weeks, not hours), interaction with other foods and supplements, behaviour (e.g. exercise), supplement quality, part of the world etc.Ergo, it is almost impossible to be completely sure that one particular cause was responsible for one particular effect. Which is why a holistic, patient, slow approach is required. Also, of course, your symptoms and problems may be different since we are different people.

Also please note that there are different phases and orders of healing from roaccutane.For example, if you have an inflamed digestive system you will not digest the nutrition from food properly. That has to be dealt with first, before a good diet can be effective in treating other, higher order problems. The below list is not separated into phases. Each listing was effective at different stages for different personal symptoms at that particular stage.

Things that helped:

• A steady, varieddiet of mostly meat and vegatables and only some wholegrains (e.g. brown rice).
  Some standouts noted for their liver and healthsupporting properties:
  beetroot, broccolli, pumpkin, kale, radish, celery, avocado, white onion, turnip, cabbage.
• Large, continued doses of Vitamin D (4000IU daily)
• High quality multivitamin supplement with a focus on essential macrominerals, microminerals and B vitamins
• 30 min daily exercise, especially aerobic (heart rate increase)
• Moisturising whole body once daily (with a 'cream' level moisturiser) for hydration and immune support
• Avoiding Omega-6 and increasing Omega-3 (very slowly, via diet)
• Low carb / Anti-Sugar diet (generally low carb, avoid all refined sugars)
• Anti emulsifier / Soy diet (avoid any and all soy)
• Apple Cider Vinegar (in meals and a bit just after meals)
• Natural Yoghurt (no sugar, and as natural as possible for good bacteria)
• Probiotics (temporarily when needed)
• Curcumin (reduce inflammation)
• Coconut Oil
• Olive Oil (not too much)
• Green Tea (detoxification, cytochrome assistance)
• Fasting (intermittant and/or 24h once weekly)
• Praying / Meditating (purposely allowing self to relax and avoid stimulation, lower stress)
• Dopamine fasting (particularly deleting social media and using phone less)
• Reduced light at night time (no computer or phone after sunset, down lighting. Helps sleep).
• Focusing on oral health i.e. flossing, brushing morning and night (big site of bacteria)
• Reducing phytoestrogens in the environment (BPA plastics, petrol fumes etc.)
• No smoking or drinking alcohol (maybe a bit of red wine okay, dependant)
• Considering the impact of radiation (distance yourself from radiation emitters)
• No porn and notmasturbating (reset your hormones, sex drive)
• Gelatin (repair gut)
• Fennel Seeds (anti bacterial, good fibre)
• Dandelion tea (good for liver, but will make you pee, so remember to rehydrate)
• Sleeping earlier (research suggests the earlier you start to sleep, the more effective it is, even if its the same 8h)

I've also tried Ashwaghanda and other adaptogens. They're okay here and there but not an effective solution over time in my opinion. But every now and again they might help to pick you up a bit.

While the above is my list of what worked for me, yours will inevitably be different.

As I've already stated, the most important thing to do, and the only thing that will truly help you to develop an effective personal treatment lifestyle for yourself, is to set yourself right spiritually and refocus yourself on what really matters.

God bless, best of luck.

Oh my god love this post ! Thank you

I have also recently come to the conclusion that a damaged skin barrier may have been affecting my whole body too!!

hope you are well, and love what you say about the higher power thing! Knowing you have something else to lean on! Love your vibe!!!!X

Hey George, wondering if you ever tried kefir drink and or burdock root capsules. These are the two best things I know of for acne.

As for me currently I'm doing omad alkaline diet consisting primarily of fruit and dairy, with Mucuna and fish egg pills daily. I believe accutane wipes out our dopamine levels, and Mucuna helps replenish dopamine. Dopamine is important for lymphatic system function. Inadequate dopamine and the lymph system suffers.

sorry for my english, thanks for the suggestion

Years ago I tried kefir without success, right now I find myself consuming probiotics and zinc, I have started doing strength exercises to increase muscle mass and that keeps my mind focused on other things and relieve stress [the one I used to get rid of by pulling something else xD]

A curious fact is that this year I entered a job where they only give crap like sweets, flour, sausages and meats, lately my acne got too bad until I control consumption a little and I have noticed a slight difference.

I hope that the exercise and the muscular stress help me in something.

As for me, my dopamine levels are fine, I feel so passionate about something and even before accutane, those problems generated by that drug are things that I have already overcome and are from the past. Currently I could bet that a food is the trigger but I can't figure out what it is and I've spent 10 years like this, at Christmas time in 2021 I was acne free and since then it has only gotten worse this year. Actually my body has been telling me something but I can't really hear it. what I have left is to disturb the cortisol.

I find sugar is a massive acne trigger for me as it lowers my retinoic acid levels too much.

Our study demonstrated that nicotinamide attenuates atRA-induced overexpression of AQP3 in cultured human skin keratinocytes and decreases water permeability. We also provided evidence that nicotinamide inhibits atRAinduced EGFR and ERK activation. This novel finding 234 SONG et al: NICOTINAMIDE ATTENUATES AQUAPORIN 3 OVEREXPRESSION Figure 5. Nicotinamide (Nico) inhibits all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) induced water permeability mediated by AQP3 in cultured human skin keratinocytes. HaCaT cells were treated with atRA (1.0 M) for 24 h with or without Nico (100 M) pretreatment for 1 h. Cell water permeability was analyzed by the method described in Materials and methods (shown in A). The water permeability of AQP3 siRNA transfected HaCaT cells is also shown in A. The relative fluorescence intensity is quantified in B. The half-life of deduction of fluorescence intensity is used here as a comparable indicator of water permeability (C). For the cell water permeability experiment at least 50 cells in 6 random views were quantified for relative fluorescence intensity. *P<0.05 vs untreated (UNTR) group. #P<0.05 vs 1.0 M atRA-treated group. Magnification x200. provides an insight into the molecular mechanism of nicotinamide's beneficial effect in preventing water loss due to the application of atRA.

 

nicotinamide

So anybody else trying nicotinamide? I started a couple a weeks ago and I feel like my skin dryness, skin thinness and wound healing are getting worse. I will keep experimenting with it for some time.

I have tried Thorne Research niacinimide 500mg (3x a day) and it has helped. One of the biggest changes I noticed was My skin/hair appears to retain more moisture, my skin doesnt have a pale red color anymore, and I think it has improved my muscle growth.

That said, its added to a cocktail of other supplements I take daily which include:

-Designs for Health Probiomed 50 (probiotic)

-Black currant

-Pure encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin

-Designs for Health Omegavail

-designs for health digestzymes (take one with any meal that has a lot of protein)

-Nutrafol (mens version)

-pure encapsulations vitamin b complex

Also, I exercise regularly (try to get cardio and sunlight) and alcohol consistently will set me back (I still drink but try to keep it to a minimum). I use lotion all over my body still (skin is still working its way back I think). I never had any ED problems btw.

That said, I feel like Im in a great place now and the niacinamide was a key piece of that. I try to exercise and sweat after I take it (I read something that its better for detox or something, idk if it really matters but I exercise a lot anyways).

Ive tried niacin and it was horrible. Felt tons worse. Ive found that eliminating cow milk, eggs, tree nuts, shellfish and soy is helpful. Google search top 8 food allergies and its likely youre allergic to multiple items on the list, thanks to accutane.
Im trying a2 milk soon. Will keep the board posted.

I'm slowly introducing eggs, milk and other vitamin A foods back into my diet. My symptoms fit vit A deficiency, but vit A toxicity symptoms are very similar. I know for a fact that if I get a lot of vit A at once my symptoms get worse. I have desperate hope that slowly getting vit A would help.

Yes that's what I was thinking.

Does anyone here not have fatty liver?

When it comes to dairy I think fermentation makes a world of difference. Raw cheese and plain, whole yogurt and kefir all seem to be beneficial. Milk, doesn't matter what kind...nut based, cow, goat, has been harmful for me.

Plain whole Kefir seems to make beef liver pills much more tolerable. If you're going by the theory that accutane is still in the body, maybe the kefirs probiotic content is decreasing beta glucuronidase, meaning it is preventing accutane from recirculating back into the body. Will keep the board posted.

It's definitely still not in me. No chance at all. Do you have fatty liver?

I would say I have a fatty liver based on belly fat. Anyone with excess body fat has a fatty liver. Nobody who is fit has a fatty liver.

Calcified I believe kefir would enable you to lower your retinol dose drastically, and eventually you'd no longer need it.

Has anyone tried milk thistle? I guess so

A week ago I started taking milk thistle in infusion, on the first day I felt a slight pain in my liver, I still take 3 infusions a day and I have small liver pains, like very slight stitches.

For those who have taken it, does this discomfort mean something? What do you think?

Speaking of persistent acne, I think I have found a cause/drive for my acne; milk, recently I tried a lot of yogurt and I had huge cystic lumps, when I stopped drinking it they have disappeared, Acne got a little better.

What do you think of milk thistle? Does it work or is it a waste of time? I say it from a point of view to help health and acne, I think this boil was the controversy of many posts in this accutane forum.

I will keep trying

I tried milk thistle multiple times and found it to be too estrogenic. Some studies have shown it to have anti androgen pro estrogen effects. Seems to be a herb for women looking to improve liver function.
i flirted with the thought of lovastatin before and Ive decided Im going thru with it. Dr appt is 10/10. Will keep the board posted.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3124118

Does@under_towor anyone else eliminating vitamin A have any updates? it's been a while.

Hey @Calcified Will be 4yrs low VA next month, still going strong. Experiment is showing that even as people approach 4yrs with zero vitamin A in the diet, the liver/tissue is still full from a life time of eating it. Most started with serum around 60g/dL and at 4yrs hitting 30g/dL. Genereaux is at 8yrs zero VA, has serum still at 0g/dL, in his 60s and stated best health of his adult life.

I'm doing the opposite and actually supplementing vit A after neglecting it for long. I've tried this earlier but then I took higher dose at shorter time period and reacted bad to it. Now I started at lower dose and gradually increased it when I could tolerate it. At times it dries my eyes and nose, which actually are vit A deficiency sympoms, which is weird, but my keratosis pilaris, which is vit A deficiency symptom, has been improving. My skin feels a bit better, but it's early to say. I will keep experimenting with vit A.

@under_towthanks for responding, do you have a fatty liver diagnosis?

Hey,

I am fairly positive I have removed all traces of accutane from my body, or most of it.

I have been eating raw eggs for 2 and a half years, when I started my symptoms were the worst after accutane from 2016. I have also eaten raw meat, fruit, raw milk products and celery juice. Also "normal" foods without really limiting anything.

I was 19 when I took accutane, now I have higher testosterone than when I was 15, raging boners every single morning, no depression, no emotional instability, normal cognitive function, IBS completely cured even if I eat junk food or whatever I want really, eyesight back to normal, no blurry vision or sensitivity to light, multiple chemical sensitivity fixed, back pain fixed, mobility in joints fixed, especially jaw and back.

The foods I mentioned cause you to detox, ie diarrhea or vomiting, fever, infections etc. You just have to deal with it. It is poison leaving your body. Do not take any medication, supplements or anything. Just be a man and suffer, because your need for vanity caused you this illness. Acne is a positive thing, a detox mechanism of the body and taking accutane ruins it while the poison stores in your body.

I hope this helps someone, it is not easy but very much doable to be healthy again. I definitely suggest soy free eggs and celery juice, if you are unwilling to try the other foods. Best of luck to you.

Are you supplementing biotin? Because this is how you give yourself a biotin deficiency.

I think theres a difference between eating raw eggs straight from the shell vs putting in a blender with milk. Something about the blending action prevents biotin deficiency. I notice a big difference between these two ways of ingesting raw eggs.
Eggs are rich in lecithin. Lecithin is a major part of lrat. Good post.
