What can I take on Accutane?

[judoryu]

Hello folks, im fairly new around here and i have a simple question. I have tried to get rid of my acne for years into my adult life now, and after careful consideration i chose to be given a 6 month course of Accutane for acne not induced by the use of AAS.

I know that liver and kidney as well as fat values should be as normal as possible. I got bloodwork back lately and everything is fine. I know that any oral steroid is out of the question when taking accutane,

But i was wondering if there are any safe injectable AAS i could take while on accutane. The bulk of my experience comes from oral steroids, but im willing to do another injectable cycle if its compatible with the accutane. Im hoping something light like winstrol would do, but im also looking for all other possible options. I have also made a personal decision to not use test until i am past the age of 30. If anyone can recommend a good, simple injectable cycle while on accutane, i would appreciate it. I am also looking to just run a 6 week injectable cycle, if that makes any difference, and would like to run a standalone (not stack). I hope i am not asking for too much here. Thanks for any input you guys give on the situation in advance, and i will carefully review each opinion and weigh everything out. Thanks again.

I saw a dermatologist today about my acne. Accutane is a serious 3 month commitment. Before starting the program, blood work is done to check triglyceride levels (lipids) and liver function. I am on nolvadex for PCT. My blood work would probably come back all jacked up I imagine. I personally am waiting another couple of months before giving this a try. It is a serious medicine that the original manufacturer demands monthly visits to the derm. If you are a woman, you have to commit to using two forms of birth control because of the known birth defects to an unborn child. Men and women have to commit not to give blood.

My derm also said that generics of the drug have caused some serious side effects in people such as permanent bowel disorders like crohns disease. I hope that anyone out there considering this drug sees a doctor first and obtains medicine through an American pharmacy. I know acne can flare up with steroid cycles.. obviously this is why I was at the derm.. and I am sticking with a low dose antibiotic solodyn, triaz cleansing cloths, and ziana gel. I have used them in the past and they work if you stick with it.

I'm 34 by the way. Accutane is known to have wonderful results with long term acne issues that I may pursue sometime next year. This is my choice and everyone has the right to make their own choices and take their own risks. I just felt today that the penalty for things going wrong with this drug taken incorrectly are far worse than bumps on the skin. I recommend taking on accutane as a project all on it's own with guidance from your medical professional.

needto, I have always had solid personal advice from you. I may reconsider my complete thoughts on this drug even under a doctors supervision. What horror stories do you (and/or anyone else) have to share?

Last ditch effort for acne for sure. With adults they seem to do a little better.

Try need to's acnetame

Right now Im taking a perscription topical cream, with an antibiotic.... kinda working. not as big as before but ill give it a few months.

biggest difference I noticed is washing your face and body if you can 3 times a day.

AND DONT sit around in your sweaty clothes after the gym, get in the shower ASAP.

Other factors I found are stress, and greasy foods so eat clean and get good sleep!


.... or stop taking steroids... NEEVVVVVEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR
