Accutane recoveries using Finasteride

[Flynn]

Hi Canari,

Yes I plan to get labs done asap. It was only in the last year that I made the link between Accutane use and my sexual sides. I always assumed it was just a phase or I was depressed etc. Also tried to ignore it. But its been 10 years now and this is far from normal. Especially given I have suffered these sides during my teen years and early twenties (sexual prime).

I will get started on a log.

Before I made connection to accutane, I was convinced I had low testosterone, as all symptoms seemed to match. So I used testosterone ethanate at 300mg per week and then 600mg per week for around 10 weeks. Interestingly, I was able to get huge gains in muscle mass/gym/strength but I noticed practically no mental changes during steroid use. This was very unusual as given the dose and regime, I should have experienced an increase in libido at some stage. For instance, a close friend of mine took steroids over the same period, same dosage, same batch and he experienced big increases in libido.

Has anyone with post-accutane sydnrome had any success with sexual sides on this website? Have any of Gbol's protocols worked for post accutane sufferers?

Today in the bathroom I looked at my hands and had some small hairs loosening my hair, something similar happened to the guy who took it too, today I'm on the seventh day of finasteride

Hey man, I’m so glad you are experimenting this. If this works I’m going to do it to. Please keep me updated I’m close to killing myself over this. Accutane ruined my sex drive and my life in general. I’m willing to take anything to fix this

I'm in exactly the same position

Flynn eye just read some of your posts and realized u said exogenous hormones did nothing for you? Hmm strange, we both got messed up sexually from Accutane but exogenous hormones gave me huge libido boost( KEEP IN MIND MY NATURAL TEST STAYED HIGH AT ALL TIMES EVEN AFTER CRASH AND BEFORE HOPING ON HORMONES) so it wasn’t like it was because eye was deficient in test. Maybe because I used masteron (DHT) superdrol (PROGESTIN ?) and MENT/TRESTOLONE which is also a very strong progestin eye think. Eye used trestolone acetate which has a lot to do with progesterone for two weeks and it was the closest I’ve been to recovering sexually

Yeah thats interesting. I only used testosterone ethanate, so its possible if accutane has permanently messed with my 5 alpha reductase activity, that I still had relatively low DHT whilst on cycle. Can you remember what doses you took? and how long it took for libido to increase? So what was your cycle? Did you take Masteron, superdrol and trestolone together at the same time?

I'm on the 12th of finasteride, I'm taking 5 mg to 3 days already, I still do not think I noticed any difference except a few strands of hair loosening from my hair in the bath when I walk by the hand, but it's very little, I get the impression being hotter too, there are moments that I seem to feel very hot and sweat a lot (although it is a very hot weather, summer), acne has stopped for now, any difference I will warn you guys

Thank you for keeping us updated bro.

How long do you plan on using Namelk? It seems the payoff doesn't occur until a few days after you stop.

Hey did you get a chance to do any blood work before jumping in fin ?

I think I'll take about 28 to 30 days

I did only a few of testosterone, prolactin, estradiol and hemoglobins, etc., apparently these were ok, exams here where I live is very expensive to pay, health plans too

I have a good diet, and I practice bodybuilding at 5 years, I eat about 8 to 12 eggs per day, meats, balanced carbohydrates, have times that decrease the carbohydrate, times that increase depending on wanting to lose fat or gain, or depending on how I feel more tired (I've been feeling tired all the time since I've taken accutane, but when I try to eat a little carbohydrate and increase fat, by practicing bodybuilding, I feel much weaker, it's difficult to come to work and work to be able to support myself that I live alone and still go to the gym, my parents do not help me in anything and in the problems of the accutane when I try to talk about they think that everything is of my head, because on the outside I look good), my fats are basically of the egg yolk, olive oil of olive and peanuts, also as varied vegetables, I've taken many vitamins, supplements, remedies all trying to reverse this crap and nothing worked, now the only thing I'm taking is caffeine 420mg before going to the gym and finasteride every day, my food is not perfect, but I think it's not bad either, I think it's around 150/200 gr carbohydrate 110/150 protein and 60/80 fats per day

about 6 months I started to feel a great pain in the back too, nothing relieves this pain and hurts all the time, there are days that hurt less and days that hurt a lot, I already saw several cases of accutane complain of back pain , the boy who recovered from taking finasteride commented on this fact that he also felt

Hi Everybody.
My story is a little bit different, but I think it connects and might be helpful.
I'll start with this, that I also want to fix myself. So, I'm 22 now, about 5 years ago I started to take isotretinoin (Izotek), for a year. Dryness and sunlight sensitivity were the only sides effects that I had, when I stopped taking it, my skin came back to normal, it started to oil again. I always had a lot of oil on my face etc. even now if I won't wash my hair for 2 days, they are oiled enough to see it to anybody. 2 years after which is 3 years ago I started to take big amounts of SOY PROTEIN, after that my libido was gone, and I have ED and depression, etc. First blood tests showed low testosterone and doctors told me to wait so it can fix by itself. I did some research and soy can cause:
-low testosterone
-low DHT
-high estrogen levels
So, I was taking about 60g of that everyday for 3 months. Soy contain isoflavones and phytoestrogens(which I was taking way too much) that acts like estrogens.
I want to ask you all if this makes sense?
High estrogen lowered testosterone and DHT, at the same time it messed up receptors sensitivity, but I dont know which ones.
Or maybe my problem is actually connected with Isotretinoin?
I was doing more blood work and my testosterone being at range from 79 to over 1000 ng/dl didn't made me feel any difference.
I took Wellbutrin for one month, it gave me increased libido and few erections for about 2 days, but then it disappeared, and I had to stop taking it because of insomnia, stomach pain and loss of appetite.

I was also very stressed when taking soy, then my energy dropped, I couldn't get scared anymore, unless I was thinking that I won't cure anymore. Maybe cortisol connection?

Hey @Mateusz I'll share an equally weird story. I went on Finasteride for a month and a half, and during that time my skin got very oily, and libido skyrocketed. After I went off of it this happened to me.

Despite that my libido stayed nearly intact until about a month ago when I started taking collagen pills, which contain protein precursors, for a couple of weeks. Now, not only is my libido fried, but I'm experiencing dry skin, hands, and eyes, thinning hair, and brain fog. I don't have an explanation for any of this, I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone in having an odd reaction to a protein related supplement.

 

[Mateusz]

Ailaeshiz, in my case I think it’s not about protein, it’s about phytoestrogens. My body start to think that has too much estrogens so it slowed down production of testosterone, because testosterone is converting into estrogen. But it wasn’t enough because I was still taking more phytoestrogens, so my ER are insensitive, so hormones like estradiol which also is responsible for libido just doesn’t work. To fix it I will need to stop conversion of testosterone into estrogen I guess, so my body seeing low estrogen levels will start to produce more testosterone and make ER more sensitive into estrogen. If this makes sense for anybody, please let me know. And also is there a natural way to stop that converting process? I heard about broccoli but I think I would have to eat that all day long for few months to notice anything.
Also, taking progesterone will increase my testosterone and lower my estrogen levels, and then estrogen receptors will increase their sensitivity, right?

Hi there, I was just wondering. Were you suffering from sexual dysfunction (low libdo etc.) before taking finasteride? and did taking the finasteride improve your libido? or did you have a normal libido before taking finasteride?

Had a high, but normal libido prior to taking fin. I was probably ejaculating on average about once a day. Then fin caused it to go way into overdrive, and now its plummeted to nothing.

Hope this fin cure Accutane syndrome thing works. I’m very close to killing myself. I’m so young and had my enjoyment of life stolen from me. I’m going to kill myself if there’s no recovery a year from now.
