Accutane permanent cure?

[a1b2c3]

I just did the not-so-recommended thing and started reading Reddit. I am panicking. There are people there reporting getting rhabdo from taking Accutane while lifting.

I've had to cut my workout today because the pain was unbearable.

I'll just stop the computer and go out for a walk. And I'll lower the dose to 80mg and reassess.

Thanks for the reply.

Saw a videos with young girl on accutane, who were in to 'Olympic lifting' - she lost all her explosiveness on treatment, so it definitely messes with the elasticity/mobility of the joints (in some cases).....

I've been on Accufine for the last 10-ish days (I started with 100mg. dose). Everything is going okay, and lips are dry, which is an easily fixable issue. But I have joint pain, which wasn't here before starting the isotret.

Could I be having a Reddit moment and imagining it (I highly doubt it, since I have had to lower the weight when lifting, that's how much it hurts)? I haven't started taking anything else in the meantime, that's the main reason I'm pointing towards the isotret being the issue. I mean, I am definitely in pain..

Has anyone else gone through or is going through something similar?

Edit: yeah, I'll lower the dose to 80 and assess. On the question, why did I start with such a high dose? Pure impatience.

Yeah, I think it made my lower back worse. Chiropractic, GLOW, and a little Deca (50mg every 4-5 days) seems to be helping.

I'm dealing with this as well. Hip, back, neck, both shoulders. It's like any joint that's ever given me issues is messing me with me again. What's weird is that they vary in how much they bug me. My neck and shoulder got to the point I was having a hard time sleeping. That eased up a little, but then my hip and back started bugging me so bad that it affected walking. That eased up and then both shoulders started messing with me. It feels like a preview of what I imagine very elderly people frequently live with every day.

I'm hoping just staying at the same dose for the remainder of my run will eventually cause all of this joint pain and extreme dryness to settle down.

Recently got prescribed topical Aklief for my "trunk acne" (triceps, shoulders, chest).

My acne is not extreme, benzoyl peroxide 1-2x per day is keeping it at bay, but I wanted to actually get rid of it so got prescribed this.

Anyone have a good experience with it? It's a 4th gen retinoid and the latest retinoid to be developed (2019).



Also I have some Accufine 20 mg gels, enough for a half course, would it even be worth it? As I'm already using tret on face + Aklief on my body.
