Anyone Taking Accutane?

daughter took it for 6 mos( no AS). Worked great, but it can have alot of sides. (high blood pressure for one and liver stress) So, if your predisposed or taking something that already elevates BP or taxes the liver you may have to watch it

Got this from accutane-side-effects.com


Parker & Waichman is evaluating Accutane cases where any of the following injuries have occured.

*Suicidal Behavior
*Birth Defects
*Ulcerative Colitis
*Crohn's Disease
*Inflammatory Bowel Disorder
*Rectal Bleeding
*Abdominal Pain
*Central Nervous System Injuries
*Bone and Muscle Loss
*Cardiovascular Injuries
*Liver and Kidney Damage
*Pancreatitis
*Immune System Disorder
*Lupus
*Hearing and Vision Damage
*Thyroid Disorders

In 1998, the Food and Drug Administration advised doctors who prescribe Accutane to watch their patients for signs of depression. Afterward, the Hoffman-LaRoche, the maker of Accutane, notified doctors that the drug ``may cause depression, psychosis, and, rarely, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and suicide.''

However, the knowledge of the potential danger associated with Accutane did not become widely known until a Congressman's son committed suicide. Rep. Bart Stupak says his 17-year-old son's suicide earlier this year may be linked to the popular acne medicine. Bart Stupak Jr., known as "B.J.," shot himself in the head with his father's gun in the early hours of May 14. Stupak was popular in school, a football player, and killed himself after a prom-night party.

In assessing how many potential suicide cases could be linked to Accutane, Rep. Stupak stated, "We are up over 100 reports, that's just what is coming in to us, so I believe there are probably over a thousand cases," Stupak said. "The average time is 88 days from when you start taking it, and the effect is very sudden.... You are doing strange things at 3 a.m. and you are dead at 7 a.m."

The FDA has received reports of 66 suicides and 1,373 cases of psychiatric problems among Accutane users as of early December, 2000 according to a report in USA Today. Accutane's package warning first stated potential relationship between Accutane and depression in 1986. Although French officials required that Hoff-LaRoche add the risk of suicide to the package insert of the European version of Accutane in March 1997, the FDA did not require such a change in the USA until 1999.

In early 2001, the FDA announced that new warning labels and consent forms would be required for Accutane. The new consent forms will urge patients to watch for signs of depression, such as feelings of sadness, irritability, unusual tiredness or appetite loss.
 
It took it in my late teen years, no thoughts of suicide but did have some bad sides. I would sneeze and my nose would bleed, migraine headaches, very dry lips and hands, but it got rid of my zits so to me it was worth it. I had to take it twice, first time for about 6 weeks got off of it and acne came back so I did another round for 6 more weeks and it was gone! No more zits!!!!
 
I took accutane as a teenager, and I must say, it is worth the sides. I had fairly bad skin for a while as a teenager though.
 
on it, 2nd round 80mg 2.25 months in, using it to clear up all the damn eq pimples on my tri's talk about frustrating ive had clear arms all my life now eq did this shit, but it is clearing up
 
took 120 mg for 6 months and got awsome relsuts.....no juice while on accutane.,.....DONT JIUICE AND USE AT SAME TIME UR DR will find out when he sees ur blood tests something is up
 
First off I'd just like to say I was extremely acne prone in my younger adolescent years. The first time i tried AAS (sustanon) I broke out horribly everywhere and it took 5 months to fully clear. I also later tried a non-test cycle (Deca) and the acne was just as bad. Now when i cycle i incorporate a minimal amount of accutane. 1 week before a cycle I'll use 40mg/day for a week, then back off to 20 mg eod or 40mg eood (whichever i have on hand). I recently completed a 12 week Test Cyp 500mg/week & EQ 400mg and not one pimple! The minmal accutane dosage is low enough to wart off the acne while ensuring no other sides as associated with higher doses of accutane ie. chapped lips, high blood pressure, messed up lipid profile...
 
many people have juiced while on accutane, and you can even use orals and have fine liver values as long as using enough ala daily, I have done this my self, one months blood test my values got high, thats when I didnt use any ala, I threw in some ala and next months and all after where fine, Kronk even used up to 50mg dbol while on accutane and with 600mg ed ala and had no probs, search for his thread its still around.
