I think more people need to post photos in this thread so we can actually see what we're dealing with here. Otherwise I'm convinced that most of the people who post here are in a panic and meanwhile t...

I'm not sure what causes mine... it seems like such an odd combination of factors. When I take zinc it always clears me right up though. But that doesn't mean I'm lacking zinc normally, necessarily, s...

No, no, NO. I believe in a lot of naturopathic medicine and stuff that some people consider quite far-out, but I hate how so many naturopaths flog this candida idea to death. It's an example of peop...

While I'm at it, I am sick of people commenting on here and my Accutane videos saying I'm 'taking things out of context' or whatever. Seriously, fuck off you ignorant ass-holes. That's all kids! ...

Apart from your chin, your skin strikes me as always flawless! I don't think they would prescribe you Accutane, and based on your pics., they'd be irresponsible to do so. Have you tried the Regimen?...

I'm sorry to hear that I seem to have a lot of reactive hypoglycemia since taking Accutane (not sure if it's the cause or not but that's when it started) and I finally identified it as such with my...

If your body doesn't have elevated Vitamin A levels anymore, then in what way do you think Accutane is still in the body? I don't think there is much evidence to support that, and I think it's a very ...

I think TheKnowing was very respectful in what he said. He remained very neutral, and respectfully reminded people here that there is a bigger story than just our own experiences with Accutane. He als...

Guys... don't forget the need for balance in recovery, and by balance, I mean not obsessing over your health and focusing on how sick you feel you are. You CANNOT get physically better if you send y...

Yeah I've found ways to manage it with my diet but sometimes it's a hassle. I'm doing fairly well though. Been seeing this therapist who's helped immensely. Just hitting the occasional rough patch, ...

Does anyone else have hypoglycemia since taking Accutane? That seems to be my big energy problem.

I've been going to an alternative therapist that does work around the messages you are sending your body and body energy stuff. I've only gone to about four sessions (over 1.5 months) but I'm already ...

I feel like some of you guys would benefit from seeing an osteopath. It's a much better idea than self-diagnosing, yet it's alternative and holistic enough that I think it would appeal to you guys.

Oh phew. You scared me there. Then again I don't think it would even be possible to take 1000mg without becoming poisoned/very ill almost immediately. Anyways. Glad to hear you are only taking reaso...

1000mg of zinc per day?! That is WAY too much. 50mg is a much safer dose, which won't cause copper depletion (and therefore iron) and is enough to make noticeable difference in things such as breako...

Insertnamehere, excellent post! Your last part is what really strikes me as the most important, positive message for people here: "I am OK." What you tell yourself and what you tell your body has a ...

Stop worrying about WHY. It doesn't matter if Accutane caused your depression/anxiety or not. What matters is that it's there. You can get better if you seek the right help. Find a GOOD counselor ...

Yeah, I'm not in your shoes, but I can tell you that visually, your acne is not bad at all! You look just fine!

I want to apologize to Teh Pwn... it wasn't fair of me to react to him like I did. I guess I just felt he was being too forceful about doing intense workouts. Of course exercise helps-- just do whatev...

Teh Pwn, will all due respect, your conclusions about Accutane recovery make very little sense. If you spoke to anyone with a basic training in understanding the human body, and told them to getting y...

That can be very difficult to see in a positive, non-catastrophizing way. I forget how long you've been putting up with this, but after 5 and half years of it, I am extremely desperate to see some po...

I see it useful, perhaps, in cases like anxiety and beating yourself up, but I'm not really sure it's got any use when it comes to accepting these problems. It seems more focused on being 'rational' ...

Masking over? Absolutely not. You EXPLORE the issues and highlight/become aware of your "hot thoughts"-- thoughts that may not be true but are alarming to you and hurt you. For example, CBT wouldn't...

Indigo, I'm sorry to hear you saw such a crappy counselor, or at least had a crappy experience. That sounds very philosophical and not at all the same thing as the more common and effective counseling...
