accutane/acne thread
I'm seriously on the fence about taking accutane. My skin is bad, horrible, and I know that the only fix is accutane. But I'm really scared of the side effects. I'm prone to depressions, and I hear that accutane can sometimes cause depression.
Any experiences?
vegan diet will cure acne evertime
dubs dont lie
>Side effects of accutane
I've been taking accutane for months and didn't notice a single side effect.
Then again I only took a low dosage for a long time, 10mg a day.
>depression
I've tried to look into this and can't come up any reason why it would, it's not a psychoactive drug what the hell.
Go for it, you'll most likely only get dry skin and that's about it. You'll have blood taken to check for liver values, avoid binge drinking while on accutane.
I've done four accutane regimens so far and have had basically zero side-effects. Dry skin in the beginning and easier to tan, and that's it.
Can I ask why you've done four?
Also, will it affect any of my gainz? Can I keep bulking/working out as hard, or will it somehow limit me?
Only side effects I had were dry as fuck skin, couple of nosebleeds and my hair started fallling out, but it went back to normal after it. If i took it over the summer the dry skin probably wouldn't have been that bad either.
so basically accutane is chemo
Once you arent a retarded amerixan and get 120mg a day you will be fine, 10mg a day will work just as well without a fraction of the side effects
Depression/mental sides have never been proven, it's a classic causation/correlation error. People on accutane are typically more depressed than people who aren't, because of image issues around acne. Like the other user said, it's not psychoactive. Pretty much the only side you'll notice is dry lips and skin.
