hair loss after stoping accutane

Hi! What are the chances of Accutane induced hair loss three months after stopping the drug? I am a healthy 25 year old female, I have no previous medical history, I have no people in my family going bald and I heard that Accutane could make one lose hair while on the drug. I haven’t had any problems while being on the drug, I may very well say I took it rather well and it really helped with my acne problem. Did anyone have similar experience?

Hello! I had problems with Accutane while being on the drug. I have always had very strong hair volume and it really bothered me and I always wished there was something I could do about it and when I got on the drug it started shedding a month or so after. I wasn’t very happy actually as with the shedding the hair became really dry and cracked. I spoke to my doc and he decided to take me off Acutane. Hair shedding stopped some time after stopping the drug. I reckon you should see a doctor and see if there’s an underlying condition first and see if there are options to stop or reverse the hair loss process.

I just got off accutane 2 months ago and the same thing is happening to me did you ever figure anything out, about the hair loss?

The same thing is happening to me. It took me a while to work out because I didn't suffer from hair loss while on the drug. I am too young to be in menopause. Does this hair loss stop after a while?

HI

I jsut got off accutane at the end of May 2009. I went through a 7 month treatment with few siide effects (just dry lips and occasional headaches). I began shedding a lot of hair in August 2009 and it has continued heavily through out September. Whatever happened to you guys? Did the shedding stop? How long did it take? thanks!
