This is my second course of accutane. I'm at the end of my course and my hair has started falling out. I had this issue during my last course too, but I can't remember how long it took to resolve after I stopped taking the accutane. Do any of you have a general idea?

Careful. If your really worried about your hair you might wanna stop.

one of the main reason i haven't done Accutane a third time (yes THIRD time....already did two full courses a year apart and no success! )

is that the side effects can vary so much... and they can be different every time. So if your losing your hair and you KNOW its from the Accutane maybe you should stop... its a tough choice though when you've had horrible acne your whole life: be bald and have clear skin or have hair and still have acne.

 

Bottom line is: take care of yourself....there are MAJOR reasons why this drug is so controversial....it works but at a price.

 

Good luck!

 

p.s. i am a 34 year old female with many years in medical field. take care!
