Accutane q!!!

[DaMan]

K all, currently on a cycle, as well as 20mg accutane ed, as well as 8g B5 ed. My skin is perfect except for my back, which looks like I slept on a bed of nails. This is my 5th week of the accutane.
My backne is about 70% gone (leaving those stubborn last 30%).

Two questions:

1. I know with my size I should prolly be taking 40-60mg (not more cuz acne ain't that severe), but I'm having excellent results so far - do I really want to do that to myself? Keep in mind the backne was never TERRIBLE or cystic, just annoying. I thought of waiting till I end the oral part of my cycle to hit the higher dosages and at least wait it out through the clomid... but so far I look great. Should I bother?

2. The symptoms are manageable (dry lips, dry face) - so far nothing moisturizer can't handle. What's driving me crazy is the dry-mouth I wake up with every morning. I notice I breathe through my mouth a bit more cuz of the effect the 'tane has on my nasal passage... but it's so fucking dry in the morning... can I do anything about that?

hey whats up i have been in your shoes. i would not up the dosage on the acctane until the end of your cycle and may even get your blood checked before your do that. the accutane can raise your cholesterol level in your blood. mixing more with the gear could be dangerous. i had dry eyes also and just had to keep some eye drops close. the cotton mouth in the morning would probable be a little better if you took in more water thru the day and maybe alittle more at night. that just part of that stuff though. let know how it goes.

Accutane while ON is not a good idea.

Accutane can be tough. Drink a ton of water, that helps.

I quick spray of Chloraseptic in your throat upon awakening will help.

This problem of playing with doses is not a good idea. DO what dose of Accutane you should do, an do it for 4-6 months. PERIOD. Anything else, and you risk it being much less effective. Thats right, you try to make it "easier" and you may end up rendering your Accutane cycle far less effective.

Thx all, I have a good picture of what I'm doing with dosage now (btw, I get my liver checked every 2 weeks). I will stay at 20mg till end of cycle and, depending on what my liver says, will then up to 60mg.

Now as far as the cotton mouth goes... it's mostly my tongue that bothers me, cuz if it gets too dry it chaps (if you can imagine that - I'm talking tongue, not lips). There are tiny little "tears" at the tip of it... nothing terrible, but a bit annoying.

I'm not sure chloraseptic will fix it, tho - drinking water throughout the night has helped, the problem with that is that I have to get up and piss all night which sucks.

Any other ideas? Topicals for my tongue? (just the tip)...?

Sounds nasty but take a Q-tip, cover it in vaseline, and then swab your nostrils before you go to bed. It really helps with the drying in there, and cuts down on mouthbreathing while you sleep.
