accutane question

[markshark]

ive always been prone to face acne but now its terrible...i have access to some accutane in 10mg caps. whats the best way for this stuff to be taken? how much per day do you all use? ive also heard that you need to take it for a while to see anything clear up. comments?

Are you sure they are only ten mg caps? I used 40mg a day half in a.m. and half in evening

I used 80 mgs/day. You can start off with 40 and see how it works. You need to be on it for at least 3 months.

I have heard people going up to 100/mg a day but since accutane is such a dangerous drug with sides (really f's up your liver) I would start slow

I would highly suggest tryng tanning a couple times a week first if it is not cystic acne.

bro start at 40 and see how your progress stay on for about 3 months...and see how it works...Tylers liver detox can probably help a little bit for you...dont throw on a whoppin 150mg because u wanan get rid of it..youll get rid of your self instead:|

Not to mention (side affects) accutane will yellow your teeth like a smoker at high doses and for prolong usage, and its perment.

For god sakes man if you're going to use Accutane do it under doctor's supervision it's like doing a cycle.. so why not get the help and get you're liver monitored (like your supposed too) by a professional..

I agree with the cautionary approach...I've always had acne and when I cycle the back gets real bad...so much so I can't sleep cuz of the cysts, but I still won't use accutane cuz it's so nasty. Trying low dose anti-biotics and is helping alot.

reason is because im not on insurance right now because im 23 and just got out of school and the job i currently have takes 6 months to get insurance so im trying to avoid the doc as much as possible. i got prescription face cream today and it cost me $143 as opposed to $5 when i was under my moms insurance. the face cream helps but dries my face out real bad and then the acne comes back so im kinda in a corner. only thing i heard that works like a charm is accutane.

accutane is not always as bad as everyone is making it out to be. you really dont know until you start how you will react, just like with any other drug. i agree that if you have never done it before to go through a doc. just wait it out with your insurance and do it right just in case. in the long run, a few more months wait is worth doing it right.
