[QUOTE="Jason Sypolt, post: 187582, member: 13328"] The answer to your question is unknown. The closest thing that is commonly associated with the sexual dysfunction/libido side effects is Post Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) - a seemingly irreversible loss which is possibly due to the inhibition of 5-alpha reductase from the drug. There are theories that because Isotretinoin is a retinoid that it can alter the expression of your genes when something goes wrong. That could help to explain why side effects sometimes take a while to manifest and also why they are permanent. I doubt any research will ever be done at this point because the drug has long been a generic and there isn’t enough interest or money in it. Someone usually replies to a thread with “I took it and was fine” and the point gets lost about the higher than expected risk. It’s not like taking Cialis and you might get a back ache but then be ok in a week. The sexual dysfunction issues are only one side effect. Some others include a much greater risk of depression/suicide, progressive liver damage, and “drying out” to the point where you can’t even cry about it because you have no tears. I had problems in my 20’s to mid 30’s and I associated it with stress and work and getting older. I used to only need to shave once every week and a half since my DHT was so low and my hair grew slowly. No trauma or illness or infection or anything. I had forgotten about Accutane until I started coming across posts about it and reduced hormone levels. It took almost 3 years to reverse the problems, and that was with Dr. Saya, Nelson, and others who are the best minds in HRT. It takes a while to undo almost 2 decades of your body not working properly. Don’t take Accutane. You might live long enough to regret it. [/QUOTE]
