I am about to go on a 4 month course of roaccutane and I have a few
questions about this drug. How serious is the side effect of hair loss? My
main concern is whether the hair loss will be permanent? My next concern is
the interaction of Roaccutane with other drugs, specifically LSD and
marijuana. Are these substances safe to consume whilst taking Roaccutane?
Will Roaccutane have any effect on the experience produced by these drugs
(ie. will it increase/decrease the effects or change the effects in any way)
?

Hey Mike as far as I know hair loss may occur during treatment - and
if it gets serious, contact your doctor. But the hairloss goes away
when the accutane treatment is over.

As far as taking it with marijuana, Ive read that since marijuana is a
downer, and accutane can be somewhat of a depressant, it may be unwise
to mix.

And LSD I would just wait a while to mess with that kind of thing
until youre nice and done with accutane. Id say 6 mos. after.

I'm on my second course at the moment and haven't experienced any major
hairloss whatsoever. Not this time or the first time over 2 years ago. Keep
in mind that some side effects rarely happen and law requires them to be
mentioned anyway. If it _does_ happen, it is just temporary.

We have been discussing this for months with DMP and have concluded that no
one in this group that has taken accutane *ever* experienced hair loss. I
wasn't even told about it and it didn't happen. I don't like admitting this,
but it was 6 years ago (I was a youngster), so I can say that I did any drug
I wanted whilst taking accutane (alcohol, mj, meth, various pain killers, X,
lsd, etc...). Don't judge me though! I don't do anything except beer with
football now... ^_^

I say take at your own risk. But I'm still alive and quite well...
