I am 29 and always had oily skin. I always was able to keep it at bay with the typical shit. I was worried before my cycle that I would break out like crazy, but it wasn't that bad. I finished my second cycle about a month ago and I am still recovering from the acne. I did 750 Omna, 2.5cc of Nor200, 8 d-bols a day. I have decided that I will NOT do another cycle without Accutane. My question is, I have 70 40mg tabs coming. Is this enough to reduce my sebaceous gland to the point of no acne??? I hate having oily skin!!! I had it all my life, I always figured it would go away when I got older, but I guess not! I have heard of some people doing Accutane for up to 6 months!! What do you think??     | ||

Well I'm on accutane right now. I'm into my 3rd month. It works wonders on your acne, but about the depression...yea it does. I have gotten pretty depressed, but I also have a girlfriend so that can cause it sometimes..hehe. Anyways, it's not too bad, but it does suck sometimes. Never to the point of suicide, but yea, it happens. Just take some GHB or something when you get real depressed, which is usually never. So, I hope this helps...any other questions, just ask. | ||

most likely you will need more tabs, I'm not positive what dosage the doc had me on, but I took 2 tabs a day for 5 months. Accutain is a slow working drug, it dries up your skin fast, but doesn't clear everything up for a while, usually gets worse the first month, clears up around the 3rd, but you are supposed to stay on it for 5 to ensure that the acne doesn't come back. I don't know about depression, I took it twice, never had any symptoms, personally, I think its all in your head, you should be happy that your acne is clearing up, not depressed. And the % of people who have killed themselves while on accutain is so unbelievably low, its not worth discussing. Your worst side effect will chapped lips. ------------------ |
