Does anyone have actual proof accutane closes growth plates?

[Deleted member 11126]

I'm 20 so it probably doesn't even matter. But I think my spine is still open HGH could at best give me 2 inches there.

Been struggling with acne since I was 14. I have tried everything you can think of. Antibiotics worked for a bit but the dose stopped working eventually. Whenever I get stressed or break my routine for a few days I get new break outs that take weeks-months to fully get rid of. I have old acne scars by the time they have healed I get new acne elsewhere.

If someone has definitive proof I will put it off for another 2 years but this is my biggest falio rn.

Its pretty bad still. If I get stressed for an exam within a week my face gets 1-2 psl worse. It never seems to go completely away.

It’s crazy rare tbh and most of the cases are high-dose for other things like neuroblastoma treatment. I feel u bro I’m on it rn.

I do have one empirical evidence. My friend took it at 15 he was like 5'5 and grew 2-3 inches the previous year he stopped growing at 5'5.

But his father and mother are both short so it might have been his natural growth rate. I also knew some people who go sports injuries after taking it because their bones were weaker. Everything else is just from the internet. But some of the stuff people say is pretty schizo. Like someone said it gave them an autoimmune disorder that gives them headaches everyday. Just some crazy stuff. The few people I know who took it only have the long term effects of dry skin/eyes/lips.

But the internet stuff keeps freaking me out. People keep saying it fucked them up forever gave them long term bone pain. It sounds like a scary drug I've put it off for that very reason but at this point my acne won't be gone till I am 30. I would rather risk shit that be semi disfigured for the rest of my youth

Yea no it’s definitely something youd want to avoid putting In Ur body but some of us lost the genetic lottery and have no other option lol. I’m on day 4 rn 40mg and first two days I had insane migraines and stuff but at the end of the day, hundreds of thousands of people take it every year and 95%+ are safe from those serious freaky side effects

Yeah I may have no choice. My skin is just naturally prone to acne.

Like I cannot deal with acne for another decade my hope was puberty slowing down would stop it but its just as bad as it was at 16 if not worse.

Same boat bruh
Tret kinda worked for me but then it came back
Do ur own risk:reward analysis and decide if it’s worth it. I personally lost my mind over my skin, more than the average person would/should so idk ion wanna influence u or nun but ngl anything bad happening is around 1%. Look up isotretonin on pubmed to read about it btw don’t look at Reddit
