Accutane Long Term Side Effects (Page 85)

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 After I have researched this drug extensively, I can't believe that the FDA allows this drug originally made for cancer patients to be marketed for teenagers with acne.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?

What I have heard is a steroid called Proviron had worked amazingly for this very case. You should do some research about it. Doctors can't prescribe it or any other steroids unless they have low testosterone which most times it will show as normal for the patient. You can either take a trip to India and get some cheap over the counter or just order it from them. Seems shady but seems to be promising.

Steroids are absolutely contraindicated for MMN. They make it worse. What do you mean "for this very case"? For someone with MMN? I doubt it.

Proviron is a compound very similar to DHT, dihidrotestosterone. It will worsen any acne manifestation and no action in any accutane sides. Please do not spam here.

Hi All,

My Nuclear bone scan results were somewhat normal. Few bright areas near thoracic spine and arthritis points in elbow and knees.
I can fight arthritis but the back pain is killing me. My doctor has asked me to undergo more blood tests to find if it is related to RHEUMATOLOGY.
I hope the tests will be fine. I have Thoracic Spinal T4-5 STENOSIS. And I am sure it is all because of the ACCUTANE.

In short, please do not take this drug. I am sharing my medical experience with you guys so that you could make an informed choice.

thanks.

ITS NOT PROBLEM THIS ,ITS SEVERE HYPOTIRO ,AFTER LONG USE LUGOL WILL BE ELIMINATED
YOU CAN RELIEV COMPLETE WITH BIG DOSES OF MSM 5-6 GRAMMARS PER DAY ,STRONG DOSE OF WHEY PROTEIN 60 GRAMARS AND MORE AND MAYBE A LITTLE lecithin granules WILL REGENERATE THE NEVRES AT SPINAL CHORD AND NOT PAIN ANYMORE,IF YOUR DIGESTIVE WORKS IN A FEW DAYS WILL BE FUTURE

My rheumatoid blood tests were all good. I dont have auto-immune disease.
I am so happy.
I have started my Calcium and Vitamin D3 supplements to build my bones again since my bone density was diffusely dense. I do not have pain since past 6 days now. And I am more happy.

guys, my advice is to be very very cautious before taking this ACCUTANE. It does help in acne,if you have severe cystic acne. But there are many side effects to it.

adidam I advise you to stay way from exercises for a while, your joints are fragile, they will heal up for some extent, I dont know how much will heal. Stay way from vitamin A and food high in vitamin A too.

Thanks.

Yes I have decided to stay away from exercises for some time. I will give my bones some time to heal.
By the way, my joints are fine. I have mild Thoracic Spine T4-5 stenosis , which I reckon was the cause of my back pain, as I was experiencing nerve pain.
I am not going to do exercise(gym with weights) for some time but I also can not stop moving my joints as that will weaken them.
I am trying to get back to my normal life and do more walking and be physically active. I believe that is the way to trigger healing in the bones without harm.

I have been part of and reading this discussion for almost a year now. My initial interest was prompted by the guilt I feel because I was the one who took him to the dermatologist and paid for her services with my health insurance. And then I saw him lose his hair, bear muscle/bone pain, have dry eyes, lose the stamina for activity he once had, etc. There seem to be hundreds of lawyers advertising their services on TV for mesothelioma, lead paint and such: there seem to be hundreds of teeners affected by the use of this drug: how do we get them interested in the liability for the damages caused? What does it take to start a class-action suit? Why haven't the makers of this drug (were there more than one?) been asked about their responsibility re the futures of their former clients?
