Just wanted to see if anyone has any similarities with my experience.
Didn’t really experience any of the side effects that I experience now. Whilst taking accutane. I think maybe there was 2 or 3 occasions where my orgasms were muted consecutively, but it quickly returned to normal so I didn’t question it.
Anyway, when I stopped the drug that’s when I got my sexual symptoms a whole 14 days after my last 80mg dosage. At this time I also noticed my bowl movements to be seriously disrupted aswell. Since then they have floated everyday. My skin has also been pretty dry and my lips continue to chap and bleed even when I was told this would return to normal after stopping the drug.
The speculation that accutane decreases 5ar type 1 makes sense obviously as it’s present in the sebaceous glands. But I suspect. Or interpret with my own symptoms that it infact. Has completely disrupted downregulated, fucked up what ever the whole 5ar system in my body.
5ar3 is involved in bile production to which I obviously have very little of now I have floating stools with undigested food present in it.
The sexual symptoms would explain the 5ar2
And the dryness would account for the 5ar1
I notice a lot of people talk about the sexual symptoms and the physical symptoms like skin and muscles etc etc.
But haven’t seen much about any other guys suffering with suspected poor bile production?
