I took accutane when I was 18/19from January 2014 - July 2014. My dosagewas on 60 mg for 6 months.
Ever since Ifinished here is some of the side effects Ihave suffered from:
IBS andurgency
SEVERE ANXIETY
DEPRESSION
DRY LIPS
DRY SKIN
DRY EYES
BLURRY VISION
DRY BRITTLE HAIR
Thinning hair
POOR SKIN HEALING
I've had two round of CBT first round was for 6 weeks then the next round was for 16 weeks. I am so glad to say my depression and anxiety has definitely got easier now I have coping strategies, but it is still an extremely stressful thing for me to go through everyday.
I don't doubt for a second that accutane can be such a life saver for so many people and many people may not experience these horrible side effects. But for so many these permanent side effects will affect people without any help or explanation.I've tried almost everything and spent a small fortune on supplements, diets and vitamins but Iam still persevering because I hope one dayIwill get back to my pre accutane state!
if anyone has any suggestions what has worked for them, or would maybe like to share their story please comment below!

Hello!
yes had my bloods taken a weekago also had a fecal cal test everything was completely normal they told me. I'm waiting to get a colonoscopy now!
Yes i I look at that thread a lot but it's a bit too cluttered. And no one really says what works or not.
I've just bought vitamin e tablets and l tryptophan so I'll let everyone know how I get on with these. I'm also going to start taking my milk thistle and yarrow complexas well as flaxseed oil capsulesand2 shots of olive oil a day.
Honestly this is so stressful living like this, I'm turning 21 next week and feel like absolute shit at the time of my life when I should be feeling great.
Also started oil pulling with coconut oil about a month ago, can't see much benefits so far, only bad canker sores seem to have popped up.
