RE: cea Treatment with Accutane/Roaccutane.

[Guest guest]

My experience with 5mg daily...I,m male.

After about one month i noticed a decrease in libido. Being only 32 that was bad

news.I hated the feeling i was getting down there...actually no feeling...like

it wasn't there any more.....if you can understand that.

Around month 3 or 4 i started noticing i was shedding hair in the shower.

Another wonderful side effect from this drug.

I managed to take the drug for about 6 or 7 months, until i couldn't handle it

any more.....decrease in libido...thinning hair.....what the hell i was doing to

myself .

Now its been about 3 months off the drug, my libido is back( thank you God)

and my hair is not shedding like it was.

ANY skin benefit i recieved from the drug didn't last once i stopped.

So your doc is right about having to take it for a long long time maybe forever.

But your doc is not right about the cholesteral thing. I talked to a guy who

managed to take 5mgs for about 5 years...But his doc took him off because his

cholesteral was going through the roof..

Will all this shit happen to you? who knows? Only time will tell.

It would benefit the group if you posted every couple months to let us know how

the accutane is treating your body.

Hopfully you will report only good news.

Good Luck.
