Approaching 8 weeks on minoxidil. I think I see some new little regrowth hairs that look about 1cm short (so probably from the rogaine) but my shedding is so, so much worse than before. I am losing HA...

been using minoxidil for 6 weeks, still shedding TERRIBLY. My hair is so thin I cannot tie it up in a ponytail, and I have to wash it daily when it used to be thick enough to not get greasy for 3-4 da...

So glad to hear that meritnorth! I'm shedding so, so heavily with the minoxidil. I've been using it for around a month, so this is typical I believe. I'm losing 400+ hairs a day, but I just have to ha...

Day 18 of minoxidil (rogaine 5% foam). Horrendous, horrendous initial shed. I'm losing 500 hairs a day. I'm certain I'll be in a wig by Xmas, but also realise that this isn't improving on its own, so ...

Guys, I think I might just start minoxidil. I am absolutely terrified about the initial shedding period and convinced I'm gonna be in a wig by Christmas, but I now unfortunately have to take an active...

Almost 12 months off the drug and doing badly. My ferritin count is now in the 80s which is way too high to be contributing. I'm not sure what Accutane has done to my body... I lose all regrowth. My h...

I still think I'm gonna leave it about 6 months before thinking about Minoxidil.

11 months and no improvement. I've stopped taking biotin and p much all the other vitamins bc theyve been worsening my anxiety and giving me panic attacks when I'd otherwise be able to cope. Might sou...

If you're a female with acne that is mainly hormonal (oily skin etc.), you're always gonna be battling this condition. You may keep your skin clear post-accutane but you'll probably see acne again wit...

Been off the drug for 10 months now. Getting scared. Hair looks so bad and was incredible before. I am just not me.

I'm really, really worried guys. (I'm the thread author btw). I'm now 9 months post-Accutane . Here's my current situation: still losing 200-300 hairs a day. The shedding seems to be worsening again. ...

Okay, my skin is already breaking out in pus-filled spots.. I am so upset that I can't handle 10,000iu. I'm gonna slip the pill in half, drink loads of water and see if I can cope with the 5000iu. If ...

So, I will probably regret this since it causes severe acne in some people (all I need to get again), but I've ordered 10,000 iu of biotin. If it breaks me out I'll stop taking it immediately. I just ...

Ugh I am so sorry, especially with your wedding coming up!! That is horrendous :(. This is so awful and scary. I'll keep updating - I pray this turns out okay for us!! Have you seen a specialist/been ...

Actually disgusted and severely depressed - I am going bald. The shedding has sped up so much this past month. Here's some recent pics to show all the skeptical people that yes, Accutane CAN cause 60-...

I haven't experienced anxiety like that.. instead, accutane triggered my already-severe anxiety and caused me some horrendous panic attacks. I feel veru unreal (derealised) when I'm in that state, and...

I'm just posting again bc I am so sick of this. 8 months off this drug, yet every time I was my hair and dry it, I will pull out between 200-300 hairs. This doesnt include all the hairs I'm shedding i...

Update - 8 months off accutane: My hair is still shedding abnormally. Heavier than it was about a month ago. In no way is this slowing down - it seems to have leveled out. Hair is horribly thin now, I...

Checking in from when I last posted, mid-Feb... it's going terribly, guys. I'm back to losing a CRAZY amount, like I was in September. I've been off accutane for 7 months. This is too much - I've ne...

Also, I don't want to scare you but I went on an 8 month course at 40mg and I have lost 60% of my hair. If you love your hair (which it sounds like you do since you take supplements already), ONLY go ...
