...and I'm (have been) experiencing some side effects. The one that I'm finding the most difficult time coping with is hair loss. It has changed the way I view myself. I lack confidence, more often than I'd like to admit. I don't like what I see in the mirror...but you know what, I never liked what I saw in the mirror before accutane and that never stopped me from wanting to better myself in every way that I can. That's most important - perseverance. right? 
I know that I'm the "happiest" and most balanced when I am not attached to my appearance/belongings. This is a recurring, but not stable, realization in my life. It's the lack of consistency that I'm deeply struggling with it seems. Just when I feel that I've fully accepted the fact that I've balded this much so far...I bald more. It keeps going, day after day, more and more hair falls out. on my pillow after I wake up, in my comb after I comb my hair, which I've been trying to do gently. very saddening at times because I used to have great hair and never knew what it might feel like to loose it one day.
another side effect that has been rough is soreness all over. however, I've been stretching and exercising regularly and I feel it's keeping it from crippling me.
I feel more tired than before. I know i've grown 2 years since accutance but it's not that. I feel slow at times, physically and mentally, like I don't have the energy/motivation. also a bit of anxiousness, paranoia, and confusion, for lack of a better way of describing it. i think it may be time to meditate more genuinely to regain balance from within. Its seems a lot of the mental weakness I've been experiencing is from lack of confidence due mostly to hair loss and my extreme resistance to it. Excessive compulsive thinking can be far more exhausting than say physical exercise. Meditation or just simply being still/silent to calm the mind and body for more effective states of functioning seems to be absolutely crucial if I am going to get through this. What do you all think?
thanks in advance
When I turn 26 I started to notice my hair is thinning. Now I am 27 I have accepted it. I am taking Accutane now and it doesn't look to be any thinner. I know a lot of people take Accutane when they're young and and notice changes as they age, not knowing that it was a natural thing. But if you sincerely believe that it was caused by Accutane then I'm sorry. I think it's best what you're doing now. Just to meditate and work on liking who you are. Maybe later we can join the Hair Club for Men together.
Some people have a lot of success with anti-DHT medications for hair loss. There is a definite link between DHT and hair loss. The red light therapy helps people as well, you can get home units now.
I don't believe that hair loss is "natural" or something you just have to go through as a part of life, especially when you're still fairly young. There are causes for it, and as more research is done, it seems that it's not really genetic but just correlates in families because of similar environment.

I'm 26... I also started to feel like my hair line was receding a bit and hair not growing as thick or fast in the last year or so. (although my family assure me it isn't/hasn't and I look the same?). I can also say that I haven't noticed any additional thining or receding in the 2 months I've been on accutane so far, although I do notice a lot of hair on my shoulders/brush after giving it a comb.
I think hair loss is one of those things that is linked to genetics/ageing in general, probably not a lot you can do about it apart from the usual stuff of eating a good diet, staying fit and so on. However, there are so many people all over the net linking their hair loss to accutane I find it hard to believe there is no link at all, I suspect accutane probably accelerates the process of hair loss in those who are already at risk.
No way you would get me going near those hair loss anti DHT drugs like finasteride - those drugs are strongly linked to problems like impotence, gynecomastia, low libido and so on, all of which I personally rate as more problematic than hair loss. Especially as there are internet forums full of guys who have not recovered full function many years after stopping finasteride.
still balding 
man oh man, I oughtta find a girlfriend quick before it's all gone It's extremely challenging to be in a constant state of acceptance esp about my appearance. It seems impossible to just ignore and function in spite of the fact. Not possible. Meditation helps a ton and for the while I am in a meditative state and even for a while afterwards, my mental state is more broad, more sharp, less focused on bs like my hair. I feel this way after meditation because during that state, I am more aware of my role in the bigger picture, in the world, the universe....and when you are open like that, there is no space for bs like hairloss. It really is bs. It's just so hard to stay in that sort of broad, bigger picture, free, open state of mind. I guess I have to keep meditating and practicing until I get fully enlightened 
What do ya'll think? Are you still struggling emotionally with hairloss?
