Accutane and growth

[averageguy8]

So I have been on accutane twice now, and I have been seeing a lot of different information on how it affects growth. I'm worried it might have stunted my growth. I started when I was 17 and took it for 6 months 40mg a day. The second time I took it I was 19 and took the same dose 40mg for 6 months. Does anyone know if this could have stunted my growth, im about 6,1 and my dad is about 6,2. Is there still a chance I can grow now or is it most likely I'm done growing.

Gave me small hands (not death tier but small regardless) but didnt affect height. Ended up 4 inches taller than my dad but still a manlet

Do you have a very thin waist and what about your wrists are they slim?

nah my waist is normal but yes my wrists are slim

So it probably affected the bone growth in our hands and wrists
