Accutane

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with Accutane and if it had any side effects with training or competing. I know there’s like a laundry list of possible side effects but that there have also been very few studies on the drug and that basically any symptom anyone has ever had while on it has to be counted as a potential side effect. Anyone have any experience with it? Thanks.

most everyone i know thats taken accutane has dry lips ~5 years out

My sister has been using it for some time now with no problems. Stuff works, although I’d be a little cautious after reading about the possible side effects on the net

I took it a couple years ago for about 6 months I think. At first I didn’t really have a problem with it except the dry lips, but eventually they upped the dosage and I was constantly tired/fatigued and my track times started decreasing until I went back to the original dosage.

I’ve heard about people getting sore joints and bones while on Accutane, and some say their bodies don’t ever feel the same even years after the drug is discontinued.

So I think you should be very cautious.
