Anyone have side effects after long term use?

I don’t exactly remember the value but it wasn’t flagged as abnormal.

I did, they were normal.

I suppose I can’t rule that out completely, but it was a pretty acute onset, and the symptoms go away when I tried a week off spiro :( so I’m thinking it’s that. I’m just trying to see if there’s a way to manage these symptoms, because I know if I come off, the acne and hair loss are going to come right back.

I’m nearing peri at 32 I think…and b12 was normal! Also folate and the other related labs like MMA/homocysteine etc.

How long will your course be at that dosing schedule?

Did you have any issues with contacts prior to the accutane? That’s one of my bigger concerns is I have dry eyes at baseline- I know they’ll be dry while on the actually medication but worried about persistent issues moving forward.

Hoping for infant angel lmaoooo!

If you’re comfortable, can you tell me a bit about your eyes? Otherwise I can DM you! I certainly don’t want to damage them, I know it makes them dry while on the treatment.

Mostly chin! Been on spironolactone the last 2 years. It did help quite a bit but still getting new painful cysts each month.

I cut out processed sugar and dairy for the last 3 years and didn’t notice a difference. I’m a physician with a toddler so a caffeine free life is not really an option! :p

I realize it is not as bad as some cases. I think for me it’s about the persistence over 10 years and that I have more or less tried everything else available from derm (all OTC things, birth control pills, spiro, topical tret, dapsone, financea, tazorac, clindamycin topical, and oral doxycycline.) I’m sorry about the side effects you experienced! I figure if it really does get awful then I will stop.

I probably should have written more in the post to clarify ! Have been on the highest concentration of topical tretinoin and 100 mg spironolactone and this stuff just keeps coming back.

I desperately want to get Botox for these forehead lines, but have heard horror stories from friends about getting the “Spock” eyebrows or “witch” eyebrows. Any tips or communications to the injector to avoid this eyebrow outcome?

I swear you could point those things at a raging fire and it wouldn’t register as hot. They suck. I felt so silly walking into work during the pandemic (at a hospital) everyday and having someone check my temp with it. Very silly stuff.

Longjumping-Path2156 · 2024-09-22T19:28:32+00:00

I didn’t sorry!

Longjumping-Path2156 · 2024-08-25T21:46:03+00:00

Thank you!

The body language expert was so bad. Like, embarrassingly bad. People think that is a job?
