Accutane while on cycle experiences
ad
Anyone have experience running low dose (@10mg/ed) Accutane? I am having a hard time with the acne right now and considering taking this approach.
Any opinions will be appreciated - thanks

AnonI hope you are smart enough to get blood work done if you're choosing to run accutane, that shit will kill you bud.
Don't be so pessimistic, my young friend.
One of my derm colleagues has been prescribing it without any blood work for decades, and never had a single problem. Indeed, I cannot see any good reason how periodic liver enzymes screens will prevent any single hepatitis case.
Don't confuse good medicine with stupid legal concerns.

You should try following, in that order :
Accutane is toxic to the liver (though less then what the general public says), and could be even more toxic in combination with AAS. I'm not aware of any publication to that effect, though.
I am prone to acne.
I once ran an intense cycle that once tren was thrown in literally blew my acne up.
No Fucking Joke. I was on decline bench, strained so hard that a spot on my face popped and started bleeding. One side of my face bruised almost immediately. It looked like I had my ass kicked.
Long story short: I tried a lot of stuff. What worked best for me was mass ammounts of B5(panthothentic acid) and tanning. I tried everything over the years and this is what worked best for me. BUT the acne continued so I took the plunge and tried accutane.
So I would agree in the majority of cases accutane is not the way to go, but it was affecting me no only physically but emotionally/mentally. Taking accutane was a life changing experience....for the better. Don't get me wrong the sides were nasty. I had almost nightly nose bleeds, my skin didn't feel real for a while, but it was worth it. For probably 95% it wouldn't be but in my case accutane was the only answer.
Use only as a last resort IMHO
have u tried nizoral shampoo? Heard it was good for acne, been wanting to try it.
I been hitting the tanning bed Jersey Shore style and it has really dried my acne on my arms and bac!
tread-mAccutane is very harsh brother and you figure you might run gear your whole life and you can only go two tours with accutane. Tanning helps me just a little, not enough to constitute doing it so much though. Have you tried running adex at .25 eod or aromasin?
i heard about that on another forum dude said 10mg ed or 20mg eod works wonders with little to no sides.
Anonit goes by body weight.. so if you are a big dude it prob doesn't have the same sides.. plus, how did he check his liver?
he didnt say he got tests done just said how he felt and looked on it.
Anonthis should be your absolutely your LAST resort.. accutane not only can permanently damage your liver, cause joint pain, excessive skin dryness, chapped and bloody lips, it can cause your hair to fall out, sudden blindness, there are several black box warnings. I would even go so far as to tell you try tetracycline before accutane. The low dose may or may not work. I tried running 5mg for four weeks it slowed the process down but did not get rid of the acne. I also tried running it for 10mg for two weeks and quit after ten days because of the side effects..
Well apart from the fact that accutane really helps, I would advise to go tanning regularly and dry your acne out like that.
Try if it works, if everything fails you can still resort to the rather harsh accutane.
