A friend of mine had pretty bad acne. He took Accutane and it cleared him up completely. He still doesn't break out and he took it probably 2 yrs ago. | ||

That kinda makes me wonder if what i am taking hinders some of my gains. Doxycycline is the face medication im currently taking. Does that affect the AAS? Hey, man, the other thing i would take if i were you, is Pantothenic Acid. Tons of people swear by it. I didnt break out at all on my last cycle, only broke out when i came off. ------------------ | ||

Yes, it is prescription only. Go to a dermatologist, and get some. ------------------ | ||

Yes, either check with a dermatologist or try some sources. You might get it cheaper on your own. | ||

jay81 is rite... you are already killing your liver and milk thistle doesn't pull miracles! do what one of the guys said, sit in the sauna for a couple of mins after a workout and when u get home, soak in a hot bath with baking soda for 15-20mins (no soap)... the baking soda makes your skin really dry and opens up the pores and that would help with the acne. i myself, also soak in the bath plus i take two showers a day and use a facial cleanser every two hours! its alot to do for acne but, its way better than murdering your liver! good luck | ||

I had really bad post-cycle acne in the fall that continued well after 2 months post cycle with no signs of clearing. I then added 5 grams B5/day for 3 weeks then 2grams/day (still on it) and it slowly but surely cleared up. I was taking many other measures (washing, tanning etc.) so I will not swear that B5 deserves all the credit, but it seemed to help | ||

I have taken Accutane (40 mg. daily) while on cycle before, without incident, and these cycles included 17-AA agents, like Winny. If you don't go crazy on the doses of the 17-AAs (keep it <100mg/day,) and you have an otherwise healthy liver, I don't see why there would necessarily be a problem. As far as non-17-AA agents, there should be no hepatoxicity issue here, at all, other than that of the Accutane, itself. [This message has been edited by WinDec (edited January 10, 2001).] | ||

Slopain is the one to ask about Accutane, he uses it while on a cycle himself. He has nothing but good things to say about it. | ||

Why put double the stress on your liver though if you don't need to. I heard Accutane is harder on the liver than Dbol. The thing with the liver is you don't know how much damage is occuring until Juandice sets in already. I wouldn't take any chances myself. I hate acne but I'd rather have a healty liver......... | ||

Accutane?? Yeah it will definitely work! Kind of expensive, and you may only wanna use as a last resort! I've taken it twice, once 8 years ago for Childhood acne and now currently from use of AS. However accutane usually makes acne worse for the first month. Otherwise just after a month skin clears up dramitically! Unfortunately it wasn't a cure all for me, my skin became oily agian after about 2 years. My opinion.. DO NOT take while on AS! I know that even when I ocassionally have drinks while on accutane my guts hurt! So you may wanna spare your liver and not take AS for the 3 or 4 months your on accutane. Milk Thistle, lots of water, and Cranberry juice may provide some ease from the toxicity associated from the high dose of synthetic vitamin A (aka Accutane). I think Vit b-5 Pantothenic acid might be another option. However haven't seen any concrete evidence from these posts stating that it has done wonders for anyone yet. Best O luck, Shan | ||

Are you less prone to acne during a cycle if you never had any problems with it during childhood? ------------------ | ||

While on 6 weeks of ed fina I had ONE zit on my back. Now 1 week after being off my legs look like a mine field. Fuck, they really hurt to even brush up against. I took B-5 the whole time. But now while im on clomid its killing me. I know that most people say clomid wont cause acne, but I wonder... Go big- | ||

Here we go again...B5 3grams a day in divided dosages. Differin gel also seems to be beneficial, at least to me. | ||

I took accutane when I was younger for bad acne. While I was on my cycle I was only getting a few on my back now that I'm off and on clomid its gotten alot worse, none on my face but my back and chest have a few. How long does it take for the acne to start to disappear? |
