Do You Suffer From Accutane Hair Loss? Read This!

Accutane can cause massive shedding. If you experience that, and you are a guy, here's how you can slow down the shedding : - take Saw Palmetto (it slowed down my hair loss from 200+ hair/day to 20-30/day - take vitamin D3 (im taking about 5000i.u./EOD.....it dries my hair alot, and lowers the itchy scalp, and lowers the hair loss up to a point, but doesnt stop it) Here's a connection i tried to make about Accutane hair loss and hormones : I, for example, also got E.D. from Accutane. My sperm nowadays is watery. Highly likely to be infertile, like many others who used Accutane. From my blood work i can see that accutane has lowered the Testosterone level (T) (by 40% in my case) and rise the estradiol (E2) (up to highest level) From my research, i realised that androgens (T & DHT) cause acne. Estrogen supplimentation is known to clear acne. So, maybe the rise in E2 and drop in T = no or less acne. People who have high T, have very oily skin , therefore severe acne ! And people with high T have thick hair and acne (it also depends on each male sensitivity to androgens). By dropping the T, we never regain the same oil production as before, so, for some of us, that causes hair loss, because hair doesnt receive enough "food". Accutane is an anti-androgen, it lowers T, therefore the oil production lowers, and in some cases, that causes hair fragility, thinning, and loss. Low T is also associated with hair thinning and hair loss. (its said on many medical articles) I see that i've got, as many of you, the symptoms of hypogonadism : hair loss, dry skin, bone problems, depression, erectile disfunction (E.D.), etc. Im sorry for my english, i hope you can understand my point of view, which is "low testosterone, high estradiol, low DHT = erectile disfunction + hair loss" Think well. The first shedding period during which u loose tons of hair may be due to accutane poisones. But, if after 6 months or even 1 year you are still shedding, something is really wrong with you and Accutane really messed up something inside you. This is just my theory, and it makes sense somehow, if you do your research. I'm going to do some unortodox approaches of trying to stop the hair loss. I will start TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) and see if that can stop the hair loss and back up my theory. Do you suffer from Accutane hair loss?? Does your scalp itches and burns? Does your hair got thinner? Do you loose hair from other parts of your body also? I don't have much time to use this forum, so, if you wanna know more about my theory, if you wanna tell me your story and talk to me about accutane hair loss, PM me and send me your email address. Or send me a mail to this address : [Removed] I will also try my best to read your posts on this topic and keep you updated, but maybe not as often, as i'm kinda busy lately. I will try to help each one of you as much as i can, and keep you updated regarding my hair loss treatments, suppliments that i try and tried, blood works which we can compare, and each one's hair loss progress. And more over, i wil tell you if TRT has stopped my hair loss of not. Together we will find a cure for this. Let's get united. Don't get me wrong. Im not a doctor (but even so, doctors know shit about this problem). I dont sell anything to anyone of you. Im an accutane sufferer and i wanna establish a friendship with other people who are in the same situation as me, and try to help each other, support each other. I believe together we can fight this. Goodluck to everybody and God bless you all!

Do you need to be on the course for a certain amount of time or be taking a high dose to suffer from hair loss? I just started a 4 month course today, 30mg for a month and a half then 60mg for the rest.

@ pathtorecovery91, I saw you mentioned Protandim for helping with joint pains and mental clarity.

I just finished taking accutane and luckily I don't have any of the lasting side effects like most of you guys on here were having. The only one that affected me during my course was the joint pains which were pretty bad. I began getting severe joint pains about a month after starting accutane. I had heard about protandim from a co worker of mine when I had just began taking accutane, and didn't think much of it; that is until I saw how it was improving the health of other people. I read great reviews about how it was really improving the health of the people using it. I decided to give it a try when I was about 2 months into my 6 month accutane course. Now 4 months after starting Protandim and having just finished accutane, my joint pains I started getting about a month into my course are non existant! I feel Protandim really helped me through my accutane course by giving me energy and making me feel better health wise overall. I believe it is the reason I am not suffering from most of the side effects I read about people suffering from on these forums.

I was searching this forum because I was a bit concerned about hair loss since I saw it sometimes comes after taking accutane. Hopefully it doesn't happen to me but I know everyone reacts differently from different drugs. I saw Protandim mentioned in the post and figured I give my 2 cents about it. It's cool that I happened to find someone else that took protandim after accutane and saw it helped out.

If you are suffering from accutane side effects, I'd say it wouldn't hurt to give protandim a try. I mean, if it helped me and pathtorecovery91 it could help you guys too.

And @AndrewUK

I think it just all has to do with how your body takes it. Everyone responds differently from drugs. That is personally what I think.

Hope this helps!!!
