I think that’s correct. Ashton Kutcher said he has low T and he’s been on an ar5 inhibitor for 10 years and I don’t think he knows it’s even correlated.

If I’m not mistaken Ashton Kutcher came off of fin, there’s an interview he did somewhere on YouTube where he talked about coming off the drug due to the side effect profile
Here’s the video he was taking avodart
I think he wanted to get his wife pregnant that’s why he came off and there’s a radio interview, I believe it’s mentioned by someone else here, where he talks about having low T and needing hormone replacement.

Yeah I’m assuming he’s effected to some degree, the rapper logic seems to be on it as well and he complains about anxiety and panic attacks, this drug effects many people, some get minor effects that they go unnoticed.
I feel ya on the statement on it destroying that guys life. I feel the same way, thats a very proper way to describe what it’s like going through these PFS symptoms. Trying to stay strong. #Lets find a cure!
Hey man, just registered on this forum. I couldn’t figure out how to PM you so I jus figured I would necro this thread, lol.
I heard you had diffuse thinning from accutane? Same here. I’ve been off for 4 months and am still shedding hundreds of hairs a day. I was curious if you had tried an immuno suppressor? I just began taking an immuno suppressor under the assumption PAS is an auto immune response. I’ll let the forum know if the immuno suppressor stops my hairloss. Anyways, just wanted to ask someone who’s had accutane side effects for 20 years what their opinion on immuno suppressors are.
It could make sense as far as the hair loss. I have never taken any type of immunosuppressant.
I think my hair loss (at least on my scalp) might have started with an itch, man it was a long time ago.
I still have a decent amount of hair just receding temples as I get older, but the thickness never recovered right after Accutane. My Derm almost related it to an allergy, so yeah inflammation maybe.
Im actually still looking at all of this right now as to why it happened or continues.
20+ years later.

Wow man. I keep forgetting you’ve been dealing with side-effects as long as I have. I’m sorry.

Fantastic man. I also have an itchy scalp. I’m glad your derm…almost related it to an immuno response. I’m currently talking 15mg tofacitinib, commonly used for arthritis and alopecia areata, and some other autoimmune issues (all of which “just so happen” to be accutane side effects).
It’s a pretty powerful immuno-suppressant so I’ll be sure to keep you and this forum updated. I’m one month and 15 days on the drug, and most people regrow hair/stop arthritis symptoms, within 3 months. So I still have awhile. Currently losing 250 hairs a day about.
