Have I made a mistake by going on accutane?

[Nick.Harte]

I'm a 5'10 manlet, my grandfather is around 5'11( taller than me), and my dad is 6'1. I was supposed to grow taller than my dad, or at least be at the same height as him.
I already started Accutane before becoming blackpilled. I went to an endocrinologist and the latter told my that my growth plates have already been fused without performing an X-ray. That was a bit suspicious and I think I should see another doc just to confirm. Is it over for me? Does accutane cause premature closure of growth plates?

You can easily slay with 5'10 as Long as you have a top 1% face

Don't have top 1% face lol. No slaying for me. If I was taller, things would have been easier.

I too took accutane (roaccutane/isotretinoin) when I was 14/15. My ignorant father even had to sign a term allowing me to hop on this medication, because it's heavy stuff. I ressent him to this day because of that shit.

From what I gathered it does mess up with bone growth and hormonal balance. It may also contribute to depressive and suicidal thoughts long term, but I am no expert.

Check this: The FDA's medication guide for Accutane® says “Accutane® may stop long bone growth in teenagers who are still growing”.

Answering your question, yes, it is apparently true that Isotretinoin-induced premature epiphyseal closure and growth plate deformities seem to be linked to higher doses of isotretinoin for the duration of months to years.

But I am not sure if that is your case.

Anyways, this is one hell of a drug and it probably will fuck your life without you even noticing if you took it while you are young.


TL;DR: I would not consider this drug EVER knowing what I know now, it fucks your hormonal balance and prevents bone growth in teenagers.

It is a clown world we live in.

Thanks for sharing. Jesus, I wish I was deep into the blackpill before taking this shitty drug. I did not care about my height at that time.
My productivity has decreased while on this shit but nothing too serious. I asked a couple of friends at that time and they told me they did not experience any serious issues with it, so I decided to go for it. I'm experiencing only minor side effects but I'm afraid for my height.

How was your experience with this drug?

damn you got unlucky.

No niko is only 177cm htn and he slays whole world.

If you’re in puberty and still growing I’d recommend you quit it and just wait until after you’re done growing to take it

 

[Deleted member 23239]

jfl at taking accutane instead of fixing your health

No problem, me too brother.

Afte the drug I remember having low libido, low drive, began to isolate from social settings because depression. And that was my peak teenage years.

Later I found out I could have grown some inches more, just like your OP. But who knows for sure if all that is linked with Isotretinoin and not just genetic/environmental predisposition.

Like someone said, it would be better to take care of your diet and other shit than to hop on Roaccutane because of acne.

Learned that too late.

I would strongly advise you to get the out of this drug asap.
But then again, I am no expert.

 

[Nick.Harte]

damn, you got unlucky.

I kept looking for answers to why my life was shit, but I found the fucking red pill before the black pill.
When I found it, I did not come across the importance of height and I was only on the face thing. I already started taking this shit. My dad told me that he reached his final height at 23. Lifefuel but I was ignorant I started this shit before making adequate research. I get height mogged by 60-70% of men every day, and the majority of women are the same height as me. I have to wear airforce1 and Airmax every time I go to the mall to not feel like a manlet.

Some stats are misleading because I see tons of 6'0 guys, and it's no longer above average.

Shit genetics. So sorry. My father is 6'4 whilst mother is 5'7. Despite that I turned out being a manlet.

I did not get all the side effects that you did, except for the low drive but it's still manageable.
I hope that things are going well for you right now and you managed to compensate for your missing years.

Slightly taller than me lol. It sucks to be at the same height or get height mogged by women.
