Hey how long before the stuff starts to really kick in? Im in my 4th week, the first two weeks were 40 mg daily and the last two have been 80 mgs daily, but now the acne is actually getting worse, which i read is a possibility but now its on my face, never had it on my face before, just my shoulders!

so my question is how long before it actually takes the acne away?

Also Im running it with a test/eq cycle...any problems mixing it with gear at the same time, other than how toxic it is on the liver

You need to stay at a constant dose for a few weeks before it will dry up. Why did you bump it? This is what caused your new outbreak. Keep that dose constant until it clears up.

I just ordered some.. You should try the Nizoral solution. I just bought some today. Its a shampoo that AR wrote about.

nizoral has been used for acne and for hair loss for a long, long, long time.

its an anti-fungal but also an anti-androgen

Krishna, I bumped it because from what I have read from everyones expierence is it takes 80 mgs to be effective. I plan to run 80 mgs for 5 months-6 months then 20 mgs every other day

Well that's fine; just stick with 80 from here on and don't let your doses fluctuate.

I went through MD prescribed Accutane therapy and my dermatologist started me with low doses and increased them over a 7 month period... he explained this approach has reduced the frequency of his patients experiencing side effects (He's a board certified Derm with 20+ years experience). I didnt experience any negative sides other than peeling lips.

My doses where like this...

Month --- Dose
1 ------- 20mg/day
2 ------- 30mg/day
3 ------- 40mg/day
4 ------- 60mg/day
5 ------- 60mg/day
6 ------- 60mg/day
7 ------- 80mg/day
