ya it dries you out big time. I used it as a youngster and it worked wonders. the only downside was I had to keep out of the sun completely or get burnt. seriously burnt like blisters and everything. Atleast it happened with me. Some claim it makes people manic depressive. I guess it depends on the person.
accutane made my skin soft like a babies butt, no joke.
accutane made my skin soft like a babies butt, no joke.
took it at 80mg ed for 75 days, thought i was good to go so i stopped, acne came back. also the caps i took were 40mg generic caps so they were weaker then the real ones. now im using 20mg of research accutane and thiss shittt iss grade AAAAA on qualit and strength. also running test and tren and im pretty clear so far, been about 2 months since i started but everything is clearing and i havent gotten any new break outs. only side i notice is dry lips and my cheeks were really dry at first, it was peeling a little but some lotion fixed it but i guess my body got used to it cuz it stopped peeling. i dont use any lotion, just chapstick.
so i would say, yes, it definitely works. btw, i never had a pimple in my life until i started taking AAS. also, it gave me depression and anxiety when i was using it with test and EQ, and my acne was pretty bad so i would say i was already deppressed. now im clear, on test/tren/dostinex/letro/hcg, no depression or anxiety at all. the only thing that sucks is, most of the time, your acne gets worse before it gets better so you have 1-2 big breakouts in a row then everything will start dryiung up. it pushes all the crap out that are stuck in your pores first, hence the initial break out.
hope this helps bro, acne sucks, all the hard work at the gym and you got those fucking bumps and zits. i feel your pain

I have been having some bad acne myself and it sucks cause I have never had it either . I was scripted out Benzoil peroxide 7% cream and minocycline 100mg a day as acne antibiotic bu the cream drys my skin out and makes it REAL itchy to the point of unbearable itch and bleeding at times. Its all concentrated on upper arms, shoulders, and chest! No where else do I have acne, my face is clear also. I was on 100mg of Test cyp. a week and ceased to use to try to start all over and get a hold of acne cause it was there before. IS there ANYTHING ELSE besides accutane out there that can help?? If on Accutane, how does that effect me if I drink alcohol on weekends or every other? Has anyone tried acne annihalator by platinumlabz.com?? I was told that is supposed to be a VERY good product! Please help.....

acne annhilator isnt anything special. just salicylic acid, you can just get some product like it at the store. the reason for no alcohol with accutane is because they both damage the liver. if you do drink, ust make sure you drink alot of water, because accutane drys you up and alcohol dehydrates your body, so stay hydrated.
you can try tretinoin cream/gel. its like a topical accutane, not as effective but i did see better results fromt hat then i did from any otc products.
Costs me $179 for a small bottle of Tretinoin!!!
Wow, sorry to hear that. i got mine for free. health insurance. i persoanlly wouldnt pay 179 for it though.
Thats why I have been so down because my insurance will not cover. So, only thing I have is minocycline for antiobiotics and 2%saliclic acid pads by clearasil. Got bumps looking like pizza pepporoni!! Acne pisses me off!!

absolutely if things pan out right it could be very soon. just need somethings to fall into the right places.
So do you reccomend Accutane for me?? I need it to STOP NOW cause its getting worse and worse.
I cant say because i dont know hhow bad your acne is and also, if you have depression or anxiety, it may make it worse. All i can say is, it works, but you gottta let it work so plan to run it for at least 6 months. i reccomend accutane to anyone who has bad acne and has tried almost everything else (creams, face washes, minocycline, etc), is healthy, doesnt have bad deppression or anxiety, and doesnt drink much or is willing to give up drinking for a while, i mean a couple meaning 2-3 beers once or twice a week is fine, but dont get hammered drunk and pound shots of liquor.
I dont get hammered on hard liquor or beer, just every now and then I drink enough to give me a buzz and thats pretty much it, like every 2-3 weeks on a friday or saturday. I am on minocycline right now, so I guess I have to wait and see what it does for me. I am just so bummed!!
It depends on what all you are taking at the time, (AAS and otherwise), how bad the acne is (just pimples, bumps or cystic zits), duration it normally lasts, etc..
With the winter months approaching, it is a good time to use acne meds since they require you to stay out of the sun. Unless of course you are planning on stripping down to your G-String and running down here to South Florida. Which if you do, I will be more than glad to invite you over and help you pop your zits. I'm a good bro like that.
You can start with mild treatments like Retin A and the like, if that doesn't work then progress upwards.
One thing that I have heard a LOT of people say about using Accutane is that if you only get zits from AAS (not like puberty or genetics), the best thing to do is start taking it 2 weeks prior to starting your cycle, run it for the duration of your cycle, run it the duration of your PCT, and then run it for another 3 weeks afterwards. But you only take it E3D. Not ED.
Since I completely stopped taking Testosterone injects, its been about 5 weeks and STILL have acne as I was hoping it would settle down but I had to factor in also the shock my body is going through to normal Test Levels and hormones are out of whack!! I would love to try this out with the ED3 theory while on!!

Thats good then, youll be fine. Minocycline didnt do shit for me. i still got a whole bottle from the pharmacy, stopped taking them. I agree with what AAP said, good time to run it is the winter since you wont be in the hot sun, and yes, i started running accutane 4 weeks before i started my cycle of test e and tren e so it took another 4-5 weeks to kick in, so the accutane was well in effcet when the aas levels built up.
also, the reason i gave up on everything else was because i got cystic acne, big immflamtions that were under the skin, no head and they hurt to the touch. hard to pop but after you do pop it, it usually leaves a scar.
id say give it a shot if the minocycline doesnt work. start at a low dose depending on what kind of acne you have? cystic? or just pimples with the white heads?
Very nice!! Thanks and will look into it in the morning with the Doc. And yes, I have all sorts, a couple of fat swollen inbeeded under skin and hurt like hell!!
