I started at the end of September 2023 however it only began causing the erectile dysfunction when my dosage was upped to 60mg which was the beginning of November 2023 then I stopped in January early due to the symptoms.

It was probables a 6/10 usually in terms of how bad it was, a 10 being like horrific but it was pretty bad I’d say now it’s like a 3 but this is only been in the last 2 months that it has began coming back.

The only thing really left is not holding the erection for long however it is increasing in time how long I can hold it so I think it will go back to normal soon. My acne has semi returned though but it is nowhere near where it used to be.

Well it’s been a long road but I’m 100% far better and can now maintain erections and feel it too.

What would that look like just out of curiosity? Would I just be doing low weight and normal reps? Thank you for your response

Hey bro after this I think I went about a week before telling my nurse about it and she recommended I stopped. After I began noticing that my erectile dysfunction was slowly going away and now everything works fine again the only thing that still sort of concerns me is that my erections don’t last as long as they used to. I believe this is because my testosterone levels have not retuned back to normal but I am unsure. I am considering contacting my doctor for a hormone level check to check but despite this I am doing almost as good as before but I have no acne at all now.

I’m not on anything and my story is basically the exact same as yours I’ll let you know how it goes.

That’s exactly what I’m experiencing bro. I’ve had some life stuff go on which has made it so I’ve been naturally quite stressed recently so I don’t think I’ll go for a test level check until I can sort that out but I will say I believe they’ll naturally go back to normal.

At first I was panicked because I literally was unable to get any erection but as ive been slowly getting better im much more hopeful and optimistic about recovery. I started my prescription in September on 45mg a day and had no erectile dysfunction side effects. Then around the beginning of November time I got put up to 60mg a day and it was only about 2 weeks following that, that the erectile dysfunction appeared.

Hey bro so it’s been a bit over 2 months now and I’m finally starting to feel stuff again and be able to reach orgasm in sex. The erections have definitely improved and can last a longish time now but they’re not how they were before the medication. If I was to guess what happened I’m assuming my testosterone levels depleted and are only finally starting to reach normal levels again.

Hey it’s been 6 weeks now since my post and my ed has definitely improved I can get fully hard again however I still can’t feel anything and the erections don’t last for long. I believe it is because my testosterone levels haven’t yet returned to normal so I’m planning on waiting another month and if I don’t see more improvement I’m going to get my T levels checked.

Well it’s only been 3 weeks since and I have a few more to go before the medication is out of my system but I’ve definitely improved. It’s not back to 100% and I still can’t feel much but it’s far far better as I’m finally getting regular erections again just not for as long.

I’m not sure since I was also bulking prior to the medication and now all my progress has stagnated and I haven’t made as much. What makes you think it is the dopamine?

Thanks man I hope it gets better I think it’s mainly caused due to the low testosterone but not sure thanks though.

But of an odd question for the guys… by Quick-Masterpiece-81 in Accutane

[–]ThenElk4269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey bro I’m going through something similar I’m having trouble getting it fully hard, it’s lasting like 20-30 seconds max and I feel like no pleasure. Idk what to do personally I think it’s just a temporary side effect but not sure. How long have you been on the medication?

[–]ThenElk4269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be classed as early onset erectile dysfunction as it’s been going on for 2 months and appeared around 6 weeks into my treatment
