Accutane log

[zmyj88]

So its that time, cycling for years, last cycle just kinda never ended, turned into a blast and cruise. Acne is out of control, like we're talking ridiculous levels of pimples, shoulders feel like a basket ball. These fuckers will pop every damn day for a week! Look like little volcano's. I spend a half hour every night with the chick poppin nickel-sized lumps on my back, she loves it, she's like a pimple junkie. I got fed up, that shit hurts! Tried all the other washes and soaps, washed sheets and towels daily, nothing. So this is gonna be my accutane log if anyone gives a shit, if not, I'll just keep it to myself haha

Week 1-12 60mg/wk
Week 13-20 40mg/wk
Week 21-32 20mg/wk

We're going for long and slow here, marathon as opposed to sprint, because this shitll Fuk you up evidently

First weeks up, already the existing ones are starting to scab over, where normally they'd still be pussing. Less new ones appearing too. Supposedly it gets worse before it gets better, but I haven't seen that yet. Nothing dramatic so far, but some things definitely happening

Yeah accutane is pretty rough. Took it twice as a teenager.

 

[SayMilesAway]

Oh and btw that sounds awful! Lmao

 

[zmyj88]

Yeah, that's what they say. I think this might be one of those "benefits outweigh the risks" situations tho. Shit really got out ta hand, started looking like the damn toxic avenger with the lumps. Normal dose I'm hearing is .5mg/kg of bodyweight per day. I'm 210 at the moment ( bulking) so 60mg per week hopefully is low enough to not FCK me completely. My docs liberal with the blood tests too, so I go whenever (I think he's as curious as I am as to what exactly I'm doing to myself haha)

 

[SayMilesAway]

Yeah what I remember is super dry sky. I could run my forehead and watch the skin come off, and my lips would be cracked/chapped. You need to watch any sun exposure as well.

 

[zmyj88]

That's what I heard too, but the only thing that seems to be drying up (so far) is the pimples

 

[zmyj88]

Spoke too soon, definitely got worse before it *hopefully gets better. These chits Hurt. The chick is having a Field day with my back. Bout 5 of em popped up, real deep painful ones. They say it happens because your pores are changing. Anyone on when the "better" part starts kickin?

Yeah man I've done it twice and now I'm currently on a low dose as preventive measures I started at 10mg then moved to 20mg a day and stayed there . It makes the initial break out worse . I fee like the other times I jumped to a higher dose it was more sides than anything . Don't let them force u to big doses just stay low and in about a month or two no more new break outs
U sound pretty severe so I say give it three months before u really start to notice change

 

[zmyj88]

Nah, I'm staying on the low-dose plan, I got time, summers a long way away haha. I'm curious too, cuz it seems they're getting better on a whole, there's just a few worse.
