accutane

[vicvic1]

i break out pretty bad when im on. im looking to get accutane but cant find info on how to run it or how much to get . i love test but the acne is too bad . does any one use it? does it work?

oh it works all right unlike every other bullshit acne treatment which is why its very hard to get and expensive. You might wanna try going to the dermo first and try and get it the legit way because it will be cheaper and easier as long as you have insurance. To get rid of bad acne your looking at 1mg per kg of bodywegiht, this is what most dermo's go by and adjust according to the sides and blood work. As long as a blood test for liver panel and cholesterol levels comes out good each month you should be golden.

It works, but you should look into vitamin b5 first . .

Do some searches on google or yahoo to learn more about it.

If your interested that is..

It's not that expensive! Go to AG-Guys.com and order some Isotretinion it is the same as accutane and take 50mgs ed through out cycle and pct. Make sure you carry chapstick with you at all times because it will dry your skin out, especially your lips. Works great I very rarely get pimples and look at the cycle I am doing.

I opted to wait in between cycles to use accutane, since it is hard on the liver. I was prescribed 80mg/day for 5 months. I am floored as I used to get huge pimples really bad, and now I've had like 4 or 5 total small ones in the last year, and I'm 8 weeks into a heavy cycle right now. For some people the acne never comes back. For others it comes back after a couple of years.

accutane is a wonder drug. tdllll is right, use it between cycles to clear that shit up since it's hard on your liver. krbn also right, try taking about 3-4 grams a day of B5 (pantothenic acid) for 2 weeks , then drop it down half a gram for two more weeks.
the accutane will dry you seriously yes, i started at 40mcg day for a month then bumped to 80, then i when it got under control i would take 40mcg EOD for maintenance. it was a godsend, and i've never had it return bad enough to bother me since i've been off of it. was on a total of about 5-6 months myself.
i believe krishna was against it though, but cant remember his reasons...

so 50 mg evry day for 5 months?

I am 200 lbs and my doctor prescribed 40mg/day 1st month, and 80mg/day for the last 4. It is better to have a doctor prescribe it since they monitor your blood every month for the safety of your liver. I also ended up getting prescriptions for crippling joint pain, a dry skin rash, and fungus that started to eat at the cracked/split corners of my mouth. I would have been fukked otherwise.

Be careful it will dry your skin out.

The average sized male usually gets prescribed 80mg/day for 5 months and this has a high probability of clearing up acne for good. Some require a 2nd course of treatment (after a suitable amount of time off).

Lower dosages will clear up acne but the effects are not as likely to be permanant.

Also be warned that it's very liver toxic and doctors will monitor a patient's liver enzymes monthly while they are on. It also has a very, very high risk of causing birth defects if a woman takes it even once while pregnant.
