Accutane and Sexual Dysfunction

[Helen]

From what I gather we only have 1 potential forum member with full PAS who has recovered, although not confirmed @Dasjes ?



There are a string of recoveries from PAS by doing a cycle of fin. The recovery always comes as a 'rebound' once you quit. Hasn't worked for everyone who's tried though

Dasjes is taking dutasteride to this day. and never quit it. He feels better on dutasteride while on it. Dutasteride binds NADPH

We had several people try finasteride and did not experience any rebounds at all.


If you use small doses of duta or fin, you just lower your NADPH and you will have more B2 available. And nitric oxide goes up.

People need to downregulate their g6pd , so they create less NADPH. this way there is less NADPH oxidase. and B2 is not spend

Orion is doing it right.

fasting lowers g6pd

since sugar increases it


if g6pd is upregulated then NADP levels are low, so 5 beta reductase is off and you have no bile.

thus liver flushes are the must to get rid of accutane and free copper in gallbladder

I have only sexual sides and it’s ruining my life. 12 years now of not being able to have a girlfriend. Soon I’ll be too old to attract women who can still have children. That’d mean a life of solitude and purposelessness.

Anyway, thanks guys for the advice. Good point about sexual sides possibly meaning more in common with PFS guys and other sides as being more Accutane/vit A specific.

I think I’ll start with things working for PFS guys and then do Vit A elimination if doesn’t work out. Will also look at the TEI stuff. Not to be depressing, but if I can’t figure this out in the next two years then I’m throwing in the towel. Life as an aging dude with no purpose is just too depressing. Don’t see any way I could handle any more than about two more years. The only thing keeping me alive is the slim hope that remains for some kind of breakthrough. I keep waiting and the science just doesn’t come. No one cares about us.

Thanks Helen for the advice. I’ll try doing a Keto and gluten free diet for now. And liver flushes and TEI. Do you think that sounds reasonable? I really can’t see myself touching any more anti-androgens like dut. I’m terrified of them.

I think out of everything, I’ve been able to recover from my sexual side effects the most by doing the no-vitamin a diet. I’ve been feeling more aroused lately than I have since maybe summer 2016

I have recovered from accurate sexual dysfunction. I was close to suicide at one point being 18 in college and zero sexual desire I didn’t even see girls as appealing

What did you do to recover?
