So it happened. Two and a half months in on accutane 40mg and I've taken notice today that my hair has thinned out considerably on the sides of my head as well as on top. I can't remember the last time I cried but as a 20 year old man I laid on the couch today face down and cried. I'm going down to my hair dresser tomorrow and getting it buzzed off. Which will hurt even more. I feel like a part of me has died.

I guess I have two options, If you could weigh in and help me out that'd be great.

Stop accutane and attempt to regrow/thicken my hair. Biotin/rogaine/nioxin I guess? I don't know.. Some people say the loss is permanent, others say not. I don't know if there's anything that can even be done at this point, the damage may be done? If it does grow back it could take 6 months to a year. I could go back to my old regimen, I'll have a bit of acne but maybe I can get my hair back.

Or

Stick it out for another 3 and a half months, and get used to the idea that I might never have a good looking head of hair again. Hopefully I'll never have to worry about acne again. Maybe I'll be lucky and my hair will grow back after the 6 months? Maybe I'll end up relapsing anyways so it'll all be for naught?

There's so much uncertainty that I feel that no matter what choice I make it'll be the wrong one. I'm in a really bad spot and I need your guy's opinions.

Thanks in advance.
