Bloodwork! Got my results today, definitely feel better. Although the normal ranges the company provided were a little different from the ones I've found on this site. Here they are.

Testosterone, Serum 490 Normal range (241-827) ng/dl
Free Testosterone (Direct) 15.3 Normal range (9.3-26.5) pg/ml

so, I guess I'm about the middle of the pack huh?
The free test ranges on this site were alot higher, so not sure what's going on there. Thoughts?

nobody????

All looks ok to me... What counts is how do you feel?

well that's the thing, I feel kinda shitty all the time. Tired, lazy, no motivation, it really sucks! Also, much lower libido! I am about 16 weeks in on Accutane, with about 6-8 weeks left, and I'm starting to think that has something to do with it. I thought it was my test, but doesn't look like it. Overtraining maybe? Don't think so, but could be wrong.

when i was on accutane i had the same thing
laizy
no strength
too much muscle pain all my back
it just the roaccutane
remember roaccutane is supposed to lower your test levels

hey bodyzilla, thanks for the info. How long after you stopped accutane did everything go back to normal? dose? thanks man, any info would be great!

accutane is whats causing it ----they have had to take poeple off accutane because they started to have suicidal thoughts in some cases ---It causes depression big time it can supress seritonin uptake big--time just try to hold out a little longer you will feel much better when you come off of it ---the symptoms you described are all from the accutane

thanks for the info npc, I was thinking that might be why. I'm curious to know how long it will take to get back to normal once I stop taking it?

Accutane is a harsh drug and hard on your liver and the dosages presribed are very high and can cause damage to the inner organs. Recent european studies show that a low dosage accutane can be as effective as the higher dosages normally prescribed...only the results are slower and not as dramatic...the benefit of a very low dose accutane is that it does a fraction of the damage to the liver and body as a high dose. You might want to try a very low dose accutane...such as 2.5-10mg...and every 3rd day! If you want to stay on accutane for your acne then search some of the studies done in germany on accutane and low dose protocols...it's used for rosacea, acne, etc.

wow, great info. That's really low doseages!!! I'm on 40mg ed and thought that to be really low compared to what everyone else is doing.
