accutane is necter of the gods. Just up your water intake and make sure you are eating right. You might be slightly more sore or get some MINOR joint issues but nothing to worry or complain about.
Yeah, it's nothing to worry or complain about if you don't consider headaches, raised liver enzymes, and hair thinning that may continue even after discontinuation of use the "nectar of the Gods." Just don't get the old lady prego cause it may cause birth defects in unborn children too.
Juicers need plenty more of this stuff like a 300+ cholesterol fat ass needs more french fries and Big Macs.
I'm not saying that nobody should ever take Accutane. I just believe that for the most part people are too lazy and impatient to try more mild cures for acne before resorting to such drastic measures like Accutane use. In addition, if anabolic androgenic steroids use causes you to become a pizza face, back, chest, etc., maybe you should reconsider what anabolic androgenic steroids compounds that you are using??? Or perhaps not using them at all??? Like that's a viable option??? LOL!!! Read it and weep.
Adverse drug reactions associated with isotretinoin(Accutane) therapy include:
Common: mild acne flare, dryness of skin, lips and mucous membranes, infection of the cuticles, cheilitis, itch, skin fragility, skin peeling, rash, flushing, photosensitivity, nose bleeds, dry eyes, eye irritation, conjunctivitis, reduced tolerance to contact lenses, hyperlipidaemia,
raised liver enzymes, headaches, hair thinning , myalgia and/or arthralgia.
Infrequent: severe acne flare, raised blood glucose level, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fatigue.
Rare: impaired night vision, cataracts, optic neuritis, menstrual disturbances, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, hepatitis, corneal opacities, papilloedema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, skeletal hyperostosis, extraosseous calcification, and it is believed that severe depression can occur, although there is no conclusive evidence for this.
The following adverse effects have been reported to persist,
even after discontinuing therapy: alopecia (hair loss), arthralgias, decreased night vision, degenerative disc disease, keloids, bone disease. High dosages of isotretinoin have been reported to cause rosacea (a disease of severe facial skin redness and irritation).
While vitamin E supplements have been advocated by some to reduce the toxicity of high-dose retinoids without reducing drug efficacy, test results have proven this to be false.
Patients receiving isotretinoin therapy are not permitted to donate blood during and for at least one month after discontinuation of isotretinoin therapy due to reported birth defects to unborn children.
