How much tretinoin is absorbed?

[alainchalamet]

Anyone know or can calculate how much tretinoin (0,05 or 0,01) is in a "pea sized amount" and how much is absorbed into the body/ goes systemic (google said maybe 1% idk).

My dick got half an inch smaller cuz it doesn't get as hard now. My sex drive dropped, my gf sexdrivemogs me by 3-4 times. I feel asexual. My motivation to do shit in life dropped by 3 times. I had to drop out of a lot of college classes due to no motivation and depression

depression/suicidality is a rare side effect, maybe you experienced this

im already on SSRIs + accutane and my sex drive is normal

I have all those problems and I never took accutane lol you don't know if that caused it

It got better, but it has been 5 months, and I am still not the same. My dick, sex drive, and motivation are biggest factors. Depression is over, so thats good

Topical tret has negligible systemic absorption.

Why do you care about the exact amount?

@DesperadoRatado funny how?

Last time I tested T I was around 750-800 ng/dl iirc

I’m taking citalopram

Wanted to do accutane at around the same levels as topical tretinoin

 

[alainchalamet]

80mg accutane daily along with putting shit ton .1 tret on at night

yeah that would be way higher than using tret topically. Is that what you're doing?

 

[DesperadoRatado]

@DesperadoRatado funny how?

why would anyone take this shit over 20mg a day unless your acne is really severe where a big relapse might happen?

low doses are just as effective.. and reduce common side effects by 16%-35%

personally took 10mg and that was enough.

That’s true but for the changes to your skin ecosystem to be permanent you need to reach a cumulative dose based on your body weight

I’d rather take 80 mg for 4 months than 20 for over a year
