I wrote a review back in May about my experience with accutane and how well it has worked for me and now that i have been off for a while it is time to post about my overall experience.

Firstly, the cause of my accutane was trenbolone. I have used nearly every roid on this site, dbol, drol, anavar, test, deca, boldenone, this list goes on... I never had a break out until I used tren. Honestly, roids never gave me any neg sides. No receding or thinning hairline, no roid rage, no gyno or puffy nip gyno, no sexual issues and damn sure no acne. Seriously, I would have bet money that i was just exempt from all bad steroid sides. Then came Trenbolone. This stuff had me breaking out all over my back, shoulders, and upper arms in the first week. It got bad, to the point that i was showering three times a day, tanning eod, and using a ton of fucking clearasil ten percent benzoyl peroxide. I dried it out as fast as i could, and it slowed it down and let me finish my cycle and pct but it wasn't enough. I did not have enough self control to keep from reaching my mid and lower back to try and pop the zits because honestly they fucking hurt and that was the best relief i could get.

I finished my pct, it went really well. I had expected the acne to get worse during this period but it actually improved slightly. It should be noted that my test dose each week was only 50mg eod of prop because i didnt want to complicate things with estrogen turning into progesterone. So when my balls started kicking back in, there was nothing lingering behind to fuck up my pct. Just nolva, hcg, light adex, and light clomid for 5 weeks and it went swimmingly. (HCG is what is used in infertility clinics for males, it has proven to be the most powerful tool in my pct).

fast forward a few weeks and i'm still showering three times a day and burning through benzoyl peroxide. I finally said enough is enough and started researching accutane. I have heard a lot about it on eroids, good and bad. It is slowly gaining some real popularity as some domestic sources are even starting to carry it. That said, i did not get my dosing protocol from eroids or any other steroid site. I went to experts over on acne boards and read what they had to say about the drug. The sides are widely known here, first being liver damage, followed by depression, drying out cracked lips and skin, getting better before it gets worse etc etc. I researched a long time and finally saw a trend. Doctors in the US who prescribe accutane give out dosages a lot higher than doctors in other parts of the world. Literally, they will give you as much as they think your liver can handle, test you and keep you on this stuff for a long ass time or until your liver values come back all fucked up. The thing is, and it has been shown that low dose accutane can be just as effective as high dose accutane. 10 mg every day is what i went with because that is the dose that has zero sides for most people. this is also a commonly prescribed dose to people with rosacea to improve the discoloration in there skin.

Side note, There was a week where i did 20mg every day and my lips started cracking. I quickly went back to 10mg a day and sides went away in just a few days because lips had to heal.

I did this for a month and a half after pct. All acne finally went away, and most of the smaller stuff on my arms shoulders and upper back was gone in just a couple of weeks. The big stuff took about a month and after a month and a half or so (measuring this by how many capsules i have left) my back was completely clear. I am now back on tren, been back at it for nearly a month and my acne is still in remission.

FOR THE RECORD: I did not get blood work done or check my liver values but from my research at the low dose i was taking it was not neccessary in my book. I can not say if it caused any sort of damage though because i did not have a liver work up. I do not drink alcohol, I did not use any oral steroids within several months of the accutane, and i gave my body a big break from juice and pct drugs. Not even an ibuprofen. I did not see a real need for liver workups because of the lowdose i was taking. I would recommend accutane if your having a hard time with your acne. 20mg eod or 10mg a day depending on what strength you buy is all i would recommend. It's not scientific, but it is what worked for me and appears as a safe number (no neg sides) on various acne and skin care forums.

For members who advise against accutane I think you are doing the right thing. Safely using steroids in cycles and managing the negative sides is the purpose of this site. If there were not members here cautioning others of the seriousness of accutane I would have took a much more radical approach on my dosing. It would have been both more dangerous, more costly, and the sides much worse.

Thank you eroids members for helping me make an informed decision.
Have an awesome Sunday!
