Reports from online users go anywhere from dry lips only to permanent side effects : lowered testosterone , back pain , balding , mental fog , etc...
i mean , there is a whole subreddit with people who dearly regret taking it because it fucked their life.
It also became clear the higher the dosage the higher the chance to develop those nasty sides , however there is to say that if you take lower dosages you must stay on it for a longer period of time , in the end it's about meeting a quantity quota that depends on your bodyweight , i think in my case it would be like 2 years of 20mg a day .
I was thinking , since isotretinoin is just a more potent form of vitamin a and the symptoms are the same of vitamin a toxicity , why not try to antagonize the action of it with some antagonist vitamins , such as D3 and K.
Unfortunately the studies dont back up my hypothesis , since those with naturally higher d3 levels didnt experience any difference in sides , the d3 levels of all participants were extremely low , so maybe by megadosing it could give different results.

however i found certain other supplements have postive effects on mitigating isotret sides.

It's also possible those who experienced worse sides didnt drink enough water since isotret dries you out .
