DO NOT take accutane while ON cycle. Wait till after you're done.

You should only take accutane as a last resort when nothing else will work. It's nothing to play around with. Wait and see if you get acne first. Alot of other remedies will work for some. They have not for me so I'm now on accutane but only after I tried everything else. And as Mesco said, inj. cycle is fine; just stay away from orals if and when you decide to use it.littleguy said:

What is the lowest effective dose? Would 25 mg daily suffice for mild acne?

ive read on here alot of guys will use 20mg as a maintenance dose and it works. im assuming youre talking about the liquid version if youre thinking about 25. like cranny i tried everything after my last cycle (and first time i ever broke out from a cycle) to kill the acne but nothing worked.
a few months ago and depressed about having this acne and not wanting to take my shirt off because of it post cycle when i was looking right, i bought some ag-guys tane. i was about to start taking that shit but after i thought about it some more it would have been stupid being that i have insurance, might as well do it the right way with all the blood tests and everything else. so i went to see the derm and now hes got me on 40mg per day and its only the first month so ill see what he says at the next appt if hes bumping it up or what.
cranny, did you get an initial breakout with the tane once you started? i havent but i really dont know when its supposed to happen even if it does.

No breakout for me. It started working after about the first 2 wks. I'm on month 2 now. Just as you my derm. started me out at 40mg for the first month and bumped it up to 60mg for now. So far it's been great compared to everything else I've tried for the past two years. Only noticeable sides I've gotten is dry lips and skin. If it will cure this shit it'll be worth it.mesco said:

What else did you try, besides anti-bacterial soap, benzoil peroxide, etc., before you started accutane?? My chest and back acne is KILLING me!! it's even on my forehead......i'm seriously thinking about accutane. how much $$ is it running you guys with insurance?? I've got good insurance at the bank i'm working at...just curious.

Thats not good advice, its ill-advised advice. There is absolutely no problems running accutane at a moderate dosage during an injectable cycle. IMO its a godsend, and for me the results have been unbelievable. The problem comes when taking 80-100mg of accutane ED and running high dosed cycles. If you keep the dosage down to around 20-40 mg ED there are no problems, blood tests and liver values have been well within norm for me on and off cycle. And it WILL get rid of your acne.
