Any of you guys have an issue with body acne running Test Cyp around 200-300mg/wk but not at 400-500mg/wk?
OK, so I know 250-300mg/wk may be higher than normal "TRT" levels. I have been on Test Cyp for the majority of the past 8 years or so. Also was taking Aromasin for my first cycle and when I have cruised higher than 250mg/wk but dropped it because I didn't notice much of a difference.
My back broke out pretty badly about 5 weeks into my first ever 12-week cycle at 500mg/week but then I came off and everything went back to normal.
A couple years later when I was in my mid-30's I decided to do another 16-week cycle at 600mg/wk and then just cruise around 250/mg week from there on out (we'll call it "self-prescribed TRT"). The body acne problem was there a bit but much better the 2nd cycle. When I dropped down to 250mg/wk to cruise though, the body acne problem got worse... dropped it to 200mg/wk and nothing changed.
At this point I was basically taking all the advice, topical creams, supplements, showering and scrubbing like a maniac 3+ times a day. The only thing I WASN'T taking was Accutane (the side effects kind of freaked me out... especially given that I like to go out, watch some football with friends and sometimes "a couple drinks" turn into 20). After doing all that for 6+ months without anything changing I basically said "fuck it... I'm bumping it up again. Let's see if that works. Pool season is coming up".
I bumped my Test Cyp. to 400mg/wk and noticed improvements within just a week or two. 3-6 months later it was 90% better and eventually got to the point where I would only get the occasional spot or two and didn't think about taking my shirt off in public anymore.
It sounds horrible but I just decided to cruise at 400mg/wk for YEARS, occasionally trying to bump back down to 150mg, 175mg, 200mg or 250mg/wk but almost immediately I would start breaking out again and bump back up to around 400mg/wk.
Oddly enough, I also did a 12-week Test E, Tren E, Mast E cycle in there and my skin has never looked clearer.
About a year and a half ago though I started really thinking that cruising on 400mg/wk for years probably wasn't the healthiest idea and went back to around 250mg/wk. Started breaking out again almost immediately. About 2 months later, I just decided to come off completely. Started breaking out WORSE. 2 months after that, I went back on 250mg/wk... got even WORSE STILL.... for about the past 6 months I have been cruising around 300mg/wk and it's still just worse than it's ever been. I thought it may just take some time for my body to adjust to the lower dosage but so far, nadda.
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this type of experience?
Should I seriously just go on a 6-month cycle of 20mg or 40mg/day Accutane? I'd really love to hear other people's thoughts/experiences when it comes to this type of situation and Accutane.
Any other suggestions or advice?
