Should I Pull The Trigger on Accutane? Your Experiences?

My wife used it years ago with astonishing results. The stuff it pushed out of the skin was monstrous.
Speaking of which, as the side effects warn, it is absolutely crucial to not have kids for a certain amount of time or they will be extremely deformed.

Yeah, I think women that take it are required to use 2 forms of birth control during the course and for a few months afterwards.

I am 39, on TRT, and have been on Accutane about 4 months. I decided to stop today because my bloodwork came back it is showing that I am hypothyroid. There have been a few studies showing that Accutane and possibly affect the thyroid negatively, probably only a small percentage of those who are susceptible. I’m going to stop for a while and try to take care of my thyroid, even though there’s no guarantee it’s the Accutane, it’s not worth risking at this point for me.
