Accutane...worth the risk?

[Dropkick]

hmm. well as i posted on another board:
i have had mild acne for the last few years. I usually get a bit more post cycle, or while using clomid. i added tren to my last cycle that ended a few weeks ago, and my back and shoulders have broken out. that has never happened before, and Ive been taking 4 grams B5 for the last 4 months or so. it seems to help, but this bacne isnt even phased by it.
should i use some 'tane? My doc will def. prescribe it and run blood tests for me, but im worried about the sides: sore joints, very dry skin, non-existent oil glands, and the possibility of hairloss. any experiences?

Do a search.

There was a VERY GOOD thread about this started only yesterday, it must have fallen down a bit, but can't be that far back.

Has all the pros and cons.

I just bumped that accutane post for you by Ryker.

What risks?
If you can handle the dryness and all that shit then go ahead and do it. Take my advice though, start at a small dose (20mg) and work your way up to about 80mg. The sides wont be as bad.

I hate it when people act like accutane is as dangerous as coke or something like that.

i just got over accutane 80mgs/day for 20 weeks
only side i had was dry lips which aquaphore took care of....blood tested every other week..liver values stayed the same...no acne what so ever even after a sust 600 10 week cycle

Yeah I guys, I just got my first blood test TODAY, and I start the accutane tomorrow. The dermatologist told me to start on 1 pill a day for a while, then move up... how many mg is one pill? I have really bad chapped lips, and I live in Arizona... so some of my friends that take it actually get bleeding lips. Should I take less initially than the doc suggests??? thanks!

It's certainly no riskier than juicing....

I'm on my 6th month of accutane treatments and its definetly been worth it! My zits have cleared up off my back and shoulders and I've been on gear the entire time-which most guys will say is a no-no-You'll get dry lips (blistex) big thirst (lots of water) dry skin (moisturizer) No big deal. Just get regular checks by your doctor.I had none of the horror stories you hear about on TV.
