Accutane Long Term Side Effects (Page 67)

I have a son that took accutane 60 mg a day for six months in a row three years ago. Now after many trips to doctors over strange medical problems, it seems accuatne is the culprit medication that has caused servere joint and muscle pain, severe dry lips, redness in face, eye infections of own immune system attacking itself, systems of osteoarthritis in both shoulders, both wrist and right hand, blood in stool, possible hair loss, abnormal liver function test results in AST and ALT. My son went from being a high school football and track athlete while taking this medication three years ago to someone that is in constant pain just washing a car. After I have researched this drug extensively, I can't believe that the FDA allows this drug originally made for cancer patients to be marketed for teenagers with acne. All one has to do is look online what vitamin A overdose does to someone and then you have the results of what this medication has done to my son. This drug needs to be taken off them market ASAP and the drug companies that make it need to compensate all teenagers that they have possible ruined their future. Shame on them! What is going on here?

I think that accutane can severly dammage the male reproductive and androgen system. Meaning that it harms the adrogen receptors (for life). This causes a lower testosterone level in men; the damage is more severe (and probably irreversable) if you take accutane before puberty. There are other consequences.

Other consequences is an understatement. This medication has potential to permanently damage anything in the nervous system, circulatory system, skeletal system, and digestive system. After doing some extensive research (pre-med student) due to side effects I am blown away at the possible damage.
This drug rewrites your RNA structure and epigenetics. I think this is well known by the pharmaceutical companies that produce it... that's why we get some many symptoms months and years later (that cannot be tied to the drug according to the manufacturers). Rouche claimed that they didn't know how the medication even worked and that was their defense in court for why they could not be blamed for certain side effects. I took a generic and after pursuing a case with a lawyer was told that the United States court system has found that generic brands cannot be sued for any side effects under any circumstances.... so accutane is completely sue proof unless you took it in its original form (which was pulled from the market after being sued for hundreds of millions).

This is way beyond "should i take it or not?"... the answer (unless you consider yourself invincible) is a resounding NO. At 30 years old this drug has make me into a sick shadow of my former self from 1 yr ago. Severe nausea, digestive issues, terrible joint pain (neck, back and knees), random muscle pain, blurred vision, dry itchy eyes, massive hair loss, loss of appetite, fatigue, trouble swallowing, brain fog, trouble concentrating... it ruined my attempt at a post grad education for the last year, it caused me to max out my sick time at work (and get warned accordingly by my employer), and let me stress... my symptoms are only getting worse and adding new ones every couple months.

I have been to 13 doctors and spent thousands of dollars with no answers... doctors refuse to blame a drug that is "supposed to be out of your system after a few days of stopping ingestion".

clancybenjamin,
Thank you for joining are forum. You have put it very well what the generic's do and Accutane to the body and how helpless it leaves users even years down the road form first taking this so called medication. You have explained to the tee where my son is at 9 years after taking Amnesteem ( 60 mg a day for 6 months). MY thoughts and prayer are with you. I regret everyday letting a PA at a dermatologist office talk me into letting my 14 year old takes this poison.
From the Heart,
Scott

Hello
I am a 28 year old female living in hell. I went on accutane when I was 17 or 18 on a higher dosage for a few months. Before this I was "normal" besides the usual teenage acne. I would get a couple bigger ones on my cheeks and chin, but nobody would ever consider it "cystic acne". I went to the dermatologist and he recommended I go on accutane and that it helps people get rid of their acne pretty much forever. The symptoms dry skin and chapped lips. OK - this sounds like a miracle drug what is the most that could go wrong? I can get rid of my acne and have beautiful skin. Sign me up! Biggest mistake of my life. I was young and had no idea about researching. I trusted my doctor and what he prescribed. Anyways, I took the medication and had the typical symptoms, dry skin, chapped lips, and nose bleeds. That is all I remember having as well as the avoidance of sun. I finished my round of accutane and my skin looked great. It was smooth and flawless. Although I still wore makeup it was lovely. I went on a trip for a few months shortly after. During this time I smoked cigarette, drank alcohol and dyed my hair (this is important). The day I dyed my hair my scalp was on fire and it felt like I had an infection. The next day I woke up with a handful of hair on my pillow. I was seeing doctors about this which they said my scalp looked fine and that the dye would be out of my system. Because accutane is so harsh on your liver, could it have become too burdened by the accutane and then the dye, smoking and drinking. Since that day my hair has been thinning. Thank God I had thick, thick hair so thick i had problems putting it in a ponytail. Now, I can use one elastic multiple times. This was only the beginning.... Over the years my health has declined. My current symptoms: dry hair/scalp, dry skin, dry red irritated eyes, vaginal dryness, scalp pain, hair thinning, facial flushing and rosacea, intolerance to heat and sun - my face feels like I have a bad sun burn while doing a handstand (the pressure) when it gets really bad, the flush can happen with just the slight amount of heat, I need to be in ac pretty much 24/7 and can not enjoy the things I used to do, it's as though my face wants to sweat but it has no release and just flushes. It's painful and embarrassing. I cannot go from hot to cold to hot again things like heat, cold, stress, happiness, sadness, exercise, food, etc trigger it. Basically anything and everything. I need to maintain my body at a good temperature not too cold and not warm/hot. My hands and feet go purple when cold and red/blotchy while hot. I have a weird purplish webbing all over my arms and legs. Like you see in old people. My menstrual cycle is every 26 days, but what used to be 5 days of regular bleeding has now become 2-3 days of light bleeding where I could probably change my pad once a day. My digestion has been slowed down and sometimes go back and fourth between diarrhea and constipation (not hard stools, but just struggle to go). Tender bones - sometimes in my hands and in my left leg. Always fatigued like I haven't slept in years, but get a good amount of sleep per night without waking up. Lack of energy. Depression and anxiety (I think my symptoms have brought this on). Bad breath. These are what I struggle with on a daily basis and I don't know what to do anymore. It's been 10 years already, multiple doctors and always ending up back at square one. I've seen acupuncturists, naturopaths, doctors, specialists etc. My life has been ruined and just because I wanted good skin! Can anybody guide me to some help, because I am so desperately seeking it. I don't know how much longer I can deal with it. I am trying my best. But after awhile too much is just too much!

Andrea,
I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. Be sure to let the FDA know of your side effects if you have not already. I say that with hope they really do listen, because I am not sure if they do. I understand their are so DNA test that can be done to see if any damage has occurred. If anyone can add to researching a doctor that does DNA test, please add to my comments.Please try to hang in there and share your story with others. Not that it helps, but you are not alone in your health struggles due to Accutane. There are law suits against Accutane where it has cause Irritable Bowel Disease. Seems we all went through similar experience where the doctors did not tell us the truth about what these drugs do in the long run. I personally believe most of them knew of many possible side effects but in my case, only said your son may carry lip stick around with him for years to come because of habit, not due to everlasting dry lips. Not even to mention any of the other side effects. My heart hurts for you and so many others. I live with the fact that I also signed papers for my son to take this poison and watch him struggle with daily pain, only due to a Physicians Assistant ( not even a doctor ) telling my son it was safe and had no long term side effects other than possible depression, which probably would not occur if it was not in the immanent family. And you may have read, lead to my son almost collapsing in the middle of a high school sporting event due to his colon drying out with massive amounts of blood in his stool at the time. I have lost sleep, I have cried my eyes out, I have taken him to an endless amount of doctors and specialist over the past 10 years and still have no answers. I would recommend seeing your doctor if he can order a full body bone scan to look for arthritic changes in your body and get a colonoscopy to rule out Irritable Bowel Disease ( Chrons Disease or Colitis ). Also try going on a diet that you don't eat any thing white in color, like rice, bread, sugars etc.
By reading through this forum, you will find many suggestions that others have tried and have helped them fill better.
From the heart,
Scott

Thank you Scott. I have not been in contact with the FDA yet and have never even considered doing that until now. It took me awhile to get this all off my chest, but i figured after reading this forum maybe someone out there could guide me in the right direction. I wonder if i brought this to my family doctor he would be able to order some of these tests for me. I've asked him straight out - have you ever seen anyone that looks like me at all? His answer, was no....never. It almost made me have a hysterical cry in his office. This is a new family doctor. My old doctor who referred me to the dermatologist 10 years ago has since retired. They told me about the side effects, but really only the ones that everyone gets. The long term side effects were "very rare". And i guess i was the lucky one who managed to get screwed up. Most people i tell my story too say "accutane would be out of your system by now", "it's in your head", "you look fine".....no one truly understands what i live with day after day, not even my family. I've seen several dermatologists and i remember telling one that i would never, ever recommend someone take accutane for their acne. Wow was she ever mad that i said that - she says "do you know how many people i prescribe accutane for their acne - it is a life saver and i would be sued if i didn't"....something along those CRAZY lines. If accutane weren't so bad, then why would they take it off the market and sell it under another name?? Obviously because theirs pants were sued right off of them and I am sure they KNOW that these long term side effects happen more often than none. A chemo drug for cancer, prescribed for acne....ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I couldn't believe what i read when i started researching accutane. The sad part is that when you tell people about your problems, they don't seem to care or understand because a doctor hasn't been able to "diagnose" you yet. If i told them i had cancer i am sure their way of thinking about me would change. That is what i feel like i am going through. I believe in the all natural way and i believe there is something that could help - but i have never been strong enough to continue down that road. I drink coffee, i smoke, i am constantly stressed with work and my health - i do myself no good. All of that i am sure makes it worse. But it truly is hard not to get answers from anyone. I find myself sitting here clenching my teeth, which i have been doing for months lately. I can't stop - i just want to curl up in a ball and never leave my house. I have even been working from home the last few days because of the heat and the variable temperature in the office. I have had a CT scan done on my kidneys to see if i had an adrenal tumor - showed up as nothing. Numerous ultrasounds on my pelvis for pain - again, nothing. I recently had a CT done with the contrast to check my blood vessels because of my circulation - i see him in September. My family doctor recommended i get an MRI of the brain to check for tumors - i just got the call and am not scheduled until June of 2014! I may have to take the route where i pay myself. It will hurt if nothing is there, BUT it will all be worth it if something showed on the scans. The doctors must think i am nuts when all the tests come back "normal", but i look the way i do. Thank you Scott for your response. This is definitely helping relieve some stress and having someone to listen to me.

Andrea, I just got done reading your post from yesterday. So many of your problems are the same as mine. One of those that stick out to me is the facial flushing. I took Accutane when I was in my early 20's(I'm 53 now) and have been fighting this facial flushing ever since. I know exactly how you feel and it can be embarrassing. People have commented on my red face from time to time. I just tell them it happens when my neck hurts( I have bone problems from the Accutane also). I never equated the facial flushing with the Accutane until reading the posts on this forum. And you are right, just about anything can trigger it to happen.
Next similar problem is, the dry skin. I'm sure everyone that took the Accutane deals with this problem. One thing I know about the dry skin is that it gets alot worse in the winter. I used to live in Louisiana in a very humid, moist climate. Before taking the Accutane my skin was VERY OILY. After I took the Accutane the oily skin went away. My skin would dry out and more so in the winter. Living in La I could still tolerate the dry skin even in the winter since the climate there was so humid. Now I live in NC and the winter's here are more extreme. If I wash my hands too much in the winter I experience "cracking and bleeding". I have to keep lotion on my hands as much as I can. I also have had problems with bad breath. This seems to come and go. I thought it was related to my acid reflux but, I have my doubts now. Digestion is a problem too. I've had periods were I go from loose stools to normal stools. I'm not bothered with constipation unless I get stressed or don't eat right. I try to take a fiber supplement like Metamucill when my digestion gets out of whack. It seems to help. I drink more liquids when taking the fiber. This is a must when you take fiber supplements or you can get constipated instead. I find that since taking the Accutane in order to control my digestive issues I have to watch what I eat very closely. I try to stay away from junk foods, processed foods and try to eat more healthy whole foods. Junk and processed foods are not healthy for a body that is already stressed due to Accutane. Sweets are a problem too and sodas are a "no no". If I eat the right stuff most of the time then, once in awhile I can cheat and eat some of the wrong stuff without being thrown in a tailspin. So many times I think back to before I took this drug and how my life was so different/ normal in every way. If I could go back I would gladly take the acne over this hell. I hope you can find some positive ways to deal with your problems and know that you are not alone! Try to eat right, get some exercise, rest and spend some time in prayer. Wish I could think of something else that would help you.
Take care,
Ernest

Hi Ernest!
Thanks for sharing. It helps that people are going through the same thing as most days I feel like I am the only one. I see people everyday and wish I was back to being "normal". It is the hardest thing to have to go through when not a single person can relate. They can have sympathy for you, but empathy? Sadly no :(. People look at me now as shy and anti-social, but what can I do? I need to stay in a place that is cool and "avoid my triggers" as the doctor suggested. I can't go lay on the beach, go for walks when it's sunny or hot, jump in my car during mid-day while having the windows rolled up because as soon as I get in my blood rushes to my face and I get extremely flushed and can't cool down. I feel like my face is literally on fire. When it gets super bad I can't keepy eyes opened because they dry out and I feel soooo tired. I've had times where I've been so overheated that I feel lightheaded and going to pass out. This can be as simple as just sitting in a hot room. I remember the times when I could go to a bar drink and dance and I was fine. Going for walks or excercising and I was fine. I wish I could go back to those normal days again. I wonder what my life would be like today if I never took accutane. I know I can't change the past, but there must be a way to reverse the effects. Or has it been too long now and I am permanently like this? The majority of my days are spent thinking of not being around anymore. How can I live when I CAN'T live the life I want to. While people are out having fun and not worried about triggers it's depressing. What happens if the restaurant is too hot, or I order something spicy? It's so sad. I usually have to wait until my food cools down to be able to eat. Even then sometimes food in general triggers the flush. I wash my face in the morning with Luke warm water and I feel like it soaks up all the water, dries out and a massive burning flush comes on. People tell you not to worry about it? But how can you not when you're face is on fire. How can you ignore that? It's not only embarrassing but physically painful. I don't eat at work because I don't want to risk getting a flush. I am exhausted by the end of the day after 12 hrs of not eating. Good thing I sit at a desk all day. I also relate to your dry hands. During the winter time my hands get so cracked and bleed as well. I live in Vancouver Canada and the weather has been brutally hot for the past month or so. I can't take it anymore. What the hell happened to us? Why do some people get the bad long term side effects and some don't. Why do they say accutane will be out of your system so there should be no long term side effects even though they list them?? Obviously it's probably out of your system but while you were taking it it caused some maybe irreversible damage. It's a mystery. I wish I could find a doctor that knows all the good and the bad of accutane. I was thinking about doing a colon cleanse like hydrotherapy. I've heard some people still have it in their colon and stuff. You read so much about it but where do you start? I can't excercises because I overheat. I used to be able to go in saunas, hot tubs do all sorts of things. Now look at me, my life is usually spent at home because I can't do those things anymore. I hope more people respond to this thread and share similar stories.

Andrea,
Very good comparison saying how different people would treat you if you had cancer over taking a acne medication. But we took a cancer drug for acne, go figure... Last week, while cleaning up my sons college dorm he just spent 2 years in, he has to clean the globes on the light bulbs on the ceiling. I watch my 22 year old son in pain holding his arms above his head to unscrew four screws holding the globe in place. His neck, shoulders and hand hurt so bad doing a simple task, I had to jump in and finish screwing in four new holes with a screwdriver. I ached inside witnessing this. A constant reminder of what Amnesteem ( generic Accutane still available in USA) has done and continues to effect his daily health. He has so many of the same problems you also have. What kind of world do we live in that lets pharmaceutical drug company's and their lobbyist ruin the lifes of so many innocent teenagers with their life ahead of them. Doctors protect each other by lying about their knowledge of the dangerous side effects this drug has. And the FDA honcho's turn their backs to the devastation this drug is doing to people due to greed and power that comes with their simple minded brains. SHAME ON THEM !
May they rot in Hell for what they are knowingly doing. The only thing that keeps me from going over the edge some days is knowing this forum may and has stopped just one person from going though the hell prior users have. May God bless you and give you daily strength to carry on. Together we are strong ! I continue to email Dr. Oz hoping he will do a show on Accutane. I would suggest we all contact him, a newspaper, National News broadcasting stations etc to bring light to our personal story's. It is the only hope I have left....is to help someone else and hopefully find out more and more homeopathic and natural ways to combat the side effects that have happen to the users of Accutane, Amesteem and the other generic drugs.
From the heart,
Scott

Scott has it right. I've been briefly glancing everyones posts lately. Basically, the fda doesn't care, because the fda is comprised of expharmaceutical employees. I contacted Dr. Oz years ago and didn't hear a response. Dr. Oz was telling people to get vaccines while admiting he didn't have his kids vaccinated... look it up on youtube. Everything is about money and the whole system would crash without the drug industry. There is also another video on youtube with Dr. Russel Blaylock. He is a neurologist and talks immunizations causing brain inflamation and chronic diseases. Accutane is one of the worst drug ever created. It is a class x drug. You know what another class x drug is THALIDOMIDE. Yes look that one up on the internet. I can't believe what they are doing to teenagers and to anyone for that fact. Look at the poor children with cancer.... They are burning and cutting on them. If you don't let them vaccinate, burn, or cut your child you are emprisoned. If everyone took the few minutes to look up Rockefeller they would understand how modern medicine came to fruition. Leftover petroleum products don't sit well in our bodies and poison our water supply. Our minimillistic society has no clue what this drug does, because they live in darkness. Most people can't imagine the horror that this drug causes. If they lived one day with the starvation or pain most of them would have committed suicide. Some even think they are more intelligent than us. I even had one friend say ohhh I know doctors are bad just don't find out he's taking a statin drug. Statin drugs are also class x drugs and make you stupid by removing much needed cholesterol. Anyways, I could go on, but please everyone keep your minds open to the fact that the industry is bad. Yes we took the worst, but the whole thing is a sham and we will never get justice. I know some people may think I'm over exagerating, but after reading these post I think there may be others similar to me. I suffered for 6 years with starvation at 100 to 113 lbs. My normal body weight was 150. I passed out almost everyday within that time period. I couldn't remember my name some days and didn't know where I was. I barely made it to the natural Doctor who helped me. I can help whoever wants help. I've said it before. I want to stress something to everyone. YOU MUST REESTABLISH GOOD BACTERIA. This involves eating whole bowls of a yogurt at a time. If you have a lot of pathogenic bacteria this could hurt your stomach and cause some crazy inflammatory responses. It's the only way to get better no matter how much it hurts. There is so much more too it then this, but I'll leave it at that.

I am sorry to hear what your son has to go through as well. Hearing that story makes me cry inside. I understand his and your pain. I have tried emailing Dr Oz as well regarding my symptoms. But have yet to hear back. I am pretty sure I've seen an episode where he mentions people going on accutane so I don't think he would look into the horror stories of the bad side effects. Too many doctors don't want to admit the fact that this drug DOES cause harm to some people. I'm envious of the ones that have gone through it and have never had to deal with the long term. I feel for you, your son am everyone else that has to go through this. I was at the hospital today for a girlie exam and I felt so anxious being there because of my skin and the heat. My hands were purple and my skin is webbed in purplish webbing as well as heat blotches everywhere. It is a hot day today in the 30's and I had to have my dad drive me there and my sister pick me up. I hate having to be dependent on others because of this. If I were to drive myself in the middle of the afternoon I would have had to deal with the flush as soon as I got in my car. Even though I have ac it takes awhile to cool down, and even longer for me to get back down to a good temperature. Then having to get out, walk to my appt and then going back into my hot car. I can't stand it anymore. I don't know where else to turn. I am dreading going into the office for the first time this week because its going to be another scorcher of a day. My desk fan only does so much. :(

WOW! So I go and google Dr Oz Accutane to see if I could find anything and then this YouTube video comes up. This is the dermatologist that put me on it 10 yrs ago!! If you watch the video tea the "comments". I also have low vitamin d levels as well. The funny part about the video is that he says it's so easy to get pregnant 1 month after taking it no have gone years without protection and have never gotten pregnant. I am only 28 so I think it may have had something to do with it as well, no?

Andrea,
Try calling Hook and Bolton Law Firm. I hear they are the best with Accutane law suits, but I believe you have to have Crohns or Colitis to have a case. Hang in there. I also wish I could do something more to help you. This firm looked into my sons case but could not help him. Its a sad fact in America that the government and others turn a blind eye to letting a cancer chemo drug be handed out like candy at doctors offices. Its all about the money, for others its about their everyday struggles due to these drugs. I must believe there is hope for forums like this one, we still have the ability to educate others. What state do you live in?

I just looked at some old paperwork and found a note from my derm to my family doctor at the time dated April 12th 2003. He mentioned I had inflammatory acne on the cheeks then wrote I will return and be started on accutane at a dose of 40mg daily. If I did not have cystic acne isn't 40mg a little too high for me? I had a few major pimples on my cheeks. And I remember towards the end he upped it so I could finish sooner. I wish I could remember where I got my prescriptions filled so I could see the starting dosage and when I ended it. Seems ridiculous to me!

Hey Andrea,

I have every problem you have except for the flushing and female problems obviously. I can relate to your flushing problem though on the physical/visual level. i took accutane when i was 14 and it stunted my growth. im 5 foot 6 now on a good day. its hard to be happy going out in the world when you feel you have a physical abnormality, such as the acne we had...... :(
Do you suffer from any kind of anxiety or depression?
i have been in contact with a woman who had to go through neurofeedback to fix some of her frontal lobe function. She now takes welbutrin and SAMe to deal with the depression. She says these treatments have helped her cognitively as well. I currently am taking a low dose of zoloft and take natural l theanine, gabatrol, and whey protein, which I feel really help me mentally, due to the amino acid blends. Amino acids are responsible for so many bodily functions, especially neurotransmitter function in the brain. The MOST important thing I have started is 30 min of cardiovascular exercise everyday NO MATTER WHAT. It's hard, but so worth it, for mental and emotional health, as well as getting the blood flowing an helping to produce oil again. I also drink loads of water. ALSO, if anyone is ever interested, we can all join a different forum which allows us to post email addresses to talk about similar treatments, taking action, helping each other, etc.

Unfortunately I didn't have that bad of acne as I thought I did, which makes it harder to think why I even got recommended this drug in the first place. I suffer from anxiety/mild depression, but the root cause if from my physical problems. I get depressed because I can not do the majority of things "normal" people can and the anxiety from people judging my flushed face or purple skin. I am only 28 and feel (sometimes look) like I am in my 70's. I see people who are older have this circulation problem and that. Not a 28 year old who should be healthy female. I'm tired of trying to find ways to get back to being the old me. I keep thinking that if this drug was used for chemo in people with brain, pancreatic and other cancers. What the hell did it do to us? I researched yesterday on doing a DNA test, it's actually an at home one you do and mail in your saliva. I think the cost is $99. I am curious at what it may show and read some good reviews on it. Not sure the depth they go into, but it may be worth a shot. Scott mentioned maybe I get my doctor to run a bone scan as well as get a colonoscopy. I think I am. I need to print all this information and plead my case to my doctor about which tests he should run so he doesn't think I'm a mental case lol. Anyways, he's already booked me for an mri to check my brain for tumors. But that isn't scheduled until June 2014. I'm not sure what a PET scan is, I wonder if that shows your brain function. I just need to figure out what to do to get myself and everyone else better!!!

Andrea,

Incredible to watch somebody that doesn't know anything about this drug prescribing it. This "doctor" is misinformed and frankly unintelligent to say the least. He's a very sick man and is just lying about the side effects to sell more poison. To not take a class x drug serious and realize if it does damage to a fetus then it can do damage to a full grown adult is perplexing and criminal. I'm astonished how cruel these doctors are just to further their agenda of prescribing drugs so that they can make millions of dollars while poisoning the general public. In their mind it is ok to kill somebody for profit. I've heard the numbers between 300,000 and to 1 million people dying a year from doctors/pharmaceuticals. They are pretty much killing these people in the name of medicine. It's so blantantly obvious how bad these people are yet nobody sees it. Nobody in our population knows their sick. Everyone's brain is void of logic and reason. If I was a doctor and going to prescribe a drug I would have known the mechanisisms and the dangers. The problem for us in the public is that we trusted the doctors. Some of us trusted our parents who said this is what we need to avoid scarring. Of course most of us did not have bad enough acne to scar and a simple diet could have taken care of the problem. Anyways, I just had to rant on this fancy doctor that likes to hear himself talk and misinform the public all over youtube. He's an arrogant worthless excuse for a human being and I hope he doesn't get his paws on anybody else to destroy their lifle. Everybody that takes accutane is chemically affected and will eventually have to pay the piper. Don't ever think that someone else got away with it.
