Post Accutane Syndrome (PAS) or Post Retinoid Sexual Dysfunction (PRSD) will be used to refer to the persisting neurological side effects of Isotretinoin/Accutane/Roaccutane/Claravis usage, predominantly Sexual Dysfunction.
It's important to put all the theories of PAS in one place. Here we can review existing theories of PAS as well as propose new ideas of how PAS arises along with subsequent treatment options. Please contribute in any way that you can. Please point out any mistakes or corrections and I will change theories where appropriate.
These include any side effects which are not related to the mind/brain such as dry skin, hair loss, irritable bowel syndrome. These side effects are most likely unrelated to PAS and so it is important to keep them separate.
This area is for any new trials, protocol suggestions and experimentation people are considering trying. It will be best to run questions to the group before trying anything new.
For anybody who is suffering from any persisting side effects after using Isotretinoin/Accutane/Roaccutane/Claravis, the most important thing you can do is report your side effects to the relevant authorities. It's of great importance to the community to raise awareness and support any organisations who are actively looking into these conditions.
