Your side effects are quire minimal, you are VERY lucky after being on a long treatment course.

You are lucky - trust me.

You can call me a Accutane basher. In fact, I bash on all pharmaceutical drugs - They're toxic! Literally, toxic to your system. I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through. Accutane is one hell of a poison.

You're best bet is to not solely rely on the information given to you by the current medical model(or anyone in matter of fact). Start doing your own research and be in charge of your own health. I would be very, very, very skeptical of any drug offered to you by these so called doctors. It's quite evident that these people have a terrible track record. And it's not completely their fault: the pharmaceutical industry is a MULTI-BILLION dollar industry that completely controls our current medical model. They have people in the FDA and in high government positions.

Anyways that's my short rant. I recommend for you to be aware of everything you put in your body. You even have to be careful of the water because it's poisoned with fluoride.

Best of luck to you bro.

I feel for you and soo sorry to hear your story! I can bet that thoose abcess are horrible, speaking as a surgeon's wife who was damaged by Accutane. My husband has worked on many with chron's etc.. Your lucky to not have your colon removed, did they do a biopsy did they test for any intestinal diseases??? Though it is good that the probitics have helped

Have you had any lab work done or tried supplements. There are certian defecincies that can cause anxiety and certian hormonal problems, which Accutane is known to cause. There are supplements and natural forms to help anxiety if it is just plain accutane induced anxiety...

I wonder if accutane also caused Candida???? Have you tried also the Candida diet????

It sucks I know hang in there!

It's ironic that you mentioned that Valium helps your Accutane side-effects, since that is also a Hoffmann-La Roche product.

Looks like they snagged a returning customer. Great business model.

Lucky?

I guess compared to your experiences I'm lucky, but rememebr lucky is a subjective term. I don't consider myself lucky

I do lots of my own research don't you worry.

Doctors don't all have bad intentions, it's just alot only have textbook knowledge and treat their diagnostic manuals as if they are the Holy Bible

What deifiencies are those? If you wouldn't mind shedding some light

Im not sure about candida directly but I'm sure Accutane has compromised my immunesystem. However it has improved since supplementing with a probiotic

I know, its unfortunate I sometimes have to turn to valium but I'm doing my best to cope without use of benzo's.

Doctors seem relatively naive about the psychological dispostions accutane can cause as a whole, so I have come to realise I must battle alone on this quest to find inner peace.

It's not that they have bad intentions, it's that they're trained only to administer drugs. They're only taught one meager course of nutrition throughout their entire medical schooling. Yes, there are some smart doctors out their that really do care about their patients, but for the most part they're all salesmen for the pharmaceutical companies.

I don't think GP's over in Australia are heavily influenced by pharmaceutical companies as generic brands are commonly offered by pharmacist for most medications. Not too sure on how that side of the medical community works. Some GP's I have been to seem somewhat reluctant to prescribe anything, even antiobiotics, let alone psychoactive drugs. So maybe to some degree marketing comes into it, but I guess it depends on the practitioner

Ignore her comments mate. She acts like she's the unluckiest person on the planet because a way too high dose of accutane has given her, according to her, life-destroying side-effects, although people who have seen a picture of her say she looks great...

Hey man.

I don't know you and you don't know me.

Everyone's experience after this drug is different.

My point is that I would trade anything in the works to undo the damage it's caused as would anyone going through side effects.

I have very severe side effects and would caution anyone only one year out that many other issues could potentially arise over time as that what's happened to so many of us.

I would consider what I am experiencing to be severe.

You don't live in my skin so keep your harsh cmnts under your hat because none of us are enjoying our journey right now post tx and we are here to support each other otherwise we would be our enjoying our lives and not sitting on these forums in an attempt to find help.

The OP of this thread may develop further issues or may not but my experience 2 yrs out hairloss was my only issue until May this year when many other things started to become apparent.

You have no concept of how it's affected me personally or watched my deterioration over the last 6 mnths and the lengths I've gone to in seeking medical help that has led nowhere.

We are all on a path and it will okay itself out, fir better or worse.

We are all damaged to a degree by accutane.

Our bodies ability to recover it's what's important and some do, I hope we are all able to get our lives back but that may not happen.

Sad thing is that alot of these side effects only worsen with time.

We are all in the same boat here and I pray for us all because lives have been shattered due to side effects.

Your comments aren't exactly kind either, so maybe you should keep them under your hat.

Your posts are annoyingly depressive and negative. Accutane is the only solution for a lot of people on here and all you do is complain and whine and warn everybody about how evil accutane is. I understand that you've had a bad experience and want to warn people, but there's better ways of doing that than non-stop negative whining. Think of the people who actually need Accutane to get their lives back before you post another essay-sized rant about how goddamn evil it is, because you hardly ever give the full story (ie. the fact that your dermatologist prescribed way too much, etc)

Now, that said, I genuinely hope you recover and find peace.

I had the most horrible reaction to a drug called Citalopram - however, this drug works for most people an is an effective anti-depressant. Am I going on mental health forums and bashing Citalopram telling people it's the most evil thing they could put in their bodies? No, because most people can live with the side effects. I couldn't. It took me 2 months just to recover from taking a single dose. Was it my doctors responsibility that I took this drug? No - she gave me the prescription and I decided to take it. Your doctor gave you a prescription for Accutane. You took it. No one forced you. You can't say you were not aware of the dangers, because there is a patient leaflet that comes with every drug that tells you the side effects. Most people have better lives after their acne is gone due to Accutane. You can't go around generalizing it will ruin anyone's life who takes it.

Most of us, at least once in our lives, had a bad experience with a medicine. You just have to get over it and move on. I hope you'll find relief from the side effects, but there's no point scaring people on this forum with your horror story, the only thing you're achieving is that you are putting people off a drug that could get rid of their acne for good.

Hey Guys, Stop arguing in this thread! The OP started this thread looking for answers on his problems from Accutane. There is a debate thread for that!

Booma2222- I sent you a pm did you get it?
