Thanks Indigo. I was just about to ask you where I could find that video and saw you linked it here. Thanks for what you did.

Eh, it's nearly the same old song and dance every time a pro-accutane poster decides to go through the effort of making us look like fools: "Most people, including myself, don't get severe long ter...

Joseph, my apologies for dragging you into such a condescending argument with someone such as myself, but I am a bit surprised that your hyper-intelligent intuition didn't catch the obvious signs of m...

You should never tell the truth to stupid people. It upsets them unnecessarily. That said, I like stupid people (socially, not on the internet). They're nice when not provoked, and a source of endle...

accux, have you had testosterone and/or other sex hormones tested? Many accutane victims with sexual dysfunction seem to have low T levels for a while after quitting the drug. If you have a clear-cut ...

JosephBuchignani: By the way, I tried canned tuna last Sunday and it flattened me until today. Too much fat, I guess. 2-3%. Only other thing it had in it was water. Maybe the scallops you ate bef...

Someone pointed me to a thread on Dr. Crislers forum that was recently opened for Accutane victims suffering from hypogonadal symptoms. I haven't spent much time there before today, but it looks li...

@Mary- Either you misunderstood what I meant or I misunderstood you. I have considered suicide myself often since accutane because I lack the ability to enjoy life since taking the drug, feeling like ...

Hi Mary. I'm 30 this year, been suffering from side effects since I was 18. If you want to learn more about biology I would suggest purchasing some college-level textbooks dealing with whatever spec...

Almost forgot. Here's a study showing that androgens and estrogens increase the telomerase enzyme in bone marrow cells. It could be that this is simply because most growth factors increase telomer...

I apologize for going off topic, but can anyone tell me whether or not threads get deleted from this site after sitting for awhile without any new posts being made? There was a thread entitled "iso...

Indigo, way to go. It's commendable that you are putting yourself out there to help shed light on our condition. More of us need to be doing stuff like this in our rescpective countries.

Here is the basic outline and an explanation of the site: By readable I meant that most of the information is contained in the first few posts of each thread. It's easy to find among all the spam p...

Sorry Joseph, I got you confused with gatorwolf6 in my last post I use chewing tobacco myself, wish I never would have started though. It does seem to reduce anxiety a little while I'm chewing, bu...

I hate to use wikipedia as a reference again but: "CYPs are the major enzymes involved in drug metabolism, accounting for about 75% of the total metabolism. Most drugs undergo deactivation by CYPs,...

@Oli girl - I'm aware that bone growth and spine problems are associated with accutane use, but would be hesitant to blame those or any other side effects on ankylosing spondalytis being caused by a...

There's a guy on another forum who has been suffering from ED for a year since taking a low (20mg) dose for half a month. Around 300mg

Hey Babis, long time no see Good to hear you are feeling better. Can't remember whether you were the guy who mentioned having seizures along with all the hypogonadal/hypopituitary symptoms. If you ...

@abcabc - If this was ankylosing spondalytis at least some of the old-timer accutane sufferers should be showing obvious, identifiable signs by now. According to the wikipedia page: "There is no di...

@Lukez - You couldn't be more right about people at least trying some form of testosterone replacement if they think there's even a small chance it might help. There's newer methods that don't even ...

I wish I could help you. I was on accutane for a year and not only did it not clear my acne but left me with long term side effects. Of course, this was 7 years ago. I didn't do any research (I was ...
