Hair is still dry, thin, and shedding 4 months after accutane (21m)

I've always had thick hair, but Accutane completely took that away from me. It's now extremely thin, and I'm afraid it's going to stay like this. And I still lose a few strands of hair every time I run my fingers through it in the shower. Absolutely ridiculous. I've never experienced shedding in my life prior to Accutane.

Anyone going through the same thing?

Edit: Oh and also my hairline has receded a little

Did you do anything to help your hair during the treatment?

Yea, I lost so much hair after I was done. Took about 6 months for it to stop shedding so much.

My brother experienced the same thing and for him it did not get better. My hair did bounce back to its old state, but I never finished my entire course. Hope it gets better for you, just treat it with care and make sure you get all your vitamins.
