accutane was a nuke for acne, nothing worked quite like tane'

stopped taking it because i feared id get the "stunted growth" side effect

would like to know about this too unless it gets flooded by homoqueer trolls like the 2 above

Not sure but I've heard it does from several people. I'd recommend waiting until you're at least 16-17.

I am that age, haven't really grown since January. I think I should start because I just got shit ton of pills from my friend. Enough for like 6 months

from what ive read the dosages where it did stunt growth were between 80-120 mg a day for 8+ months

you should take max 10-20mg. There is really no reason to go high dosages.

Alr. I will just take 40mg every second day tbh, but I fear that I might be going through my third growth sprout rn cuz this past month I have been gaining muscle like crazy while doing the same level of exercise, my acne started appearing more, and my facial hair is growing faster and thicker. I dont wanna fuck anything up

Dont risk it then.

I dont know your situation but it sounds like your acne is just moderate atm. If it gets to the point it drags your looks down noticeably....
then id hop on tane' asap. But as of now? just wait i guess
 
Yes but you shouldn't take it even if you finished growing, 0iq if you take accutane instead of cleaning up your diet first

how did your mate get accutane pills? does he work as a chemist or derm or something?
 
i think it depends on your age and your dosage, i think once your 17 or older it wouldn't stunt your growth unless your a late bloomer or something


i would be way more worried about the balding then the stunted growth

No. He just stopped taking them because they worked fast af for him. In a month his skin cleared and he didn't need any since then

Do you have inflammatory acne bro? and could you test something out?

I dont know types of acne, tbh. Its just acne, pimples. Some look inflammed, some regular. I got all types
 
I'm 195cm and did 40mg ED for 8 months at 18, didn't have any particular symptoms except for dry skin.
 
If it really stunted height I don't think doctors would be prescribing it to teens worldwide.

I’ll throw my anecdote in. I took accutane my brother didn’t. He ended up taller than me by 3 inches. I took accutane when I was 16/17 I don’t know the dose but it sure as hell did work for acne.

My brother and had similar upbringing diet etc

Yeah, accutane acts by inhiniting the secretion of hormones by the hypophysis, HGH is one of those hormones. So are GnRH, FSH and LH which are responsible for testosterone production so accutane can stunt your puberty as well.
