I was waiting for my appointment to get Accutane before my first cycle. I have real oily skin and don't want to break out like crazy from the gear. I made an appontment at my doc and he gave me these cremes that burned. I told him to refer me to an dermatologist, but the soonest appointment is late May??!! Fuck that! Summer will be well under way before my cycle even starts. I ahve a local source and I guess I'll just buy it from him, but I have NO ideal how much to take?? And how often. I weigh 195, my acne is slight right now because I use every over the counter available, if i didn't I would breakout like crazy. I have heard that this shit destroys your liver, but if it shrinks my oil glands I'll deal with it. I have had oily skin forever and it's killing me. My friend has clear skin and he broke out alittle on his first cycle. I appreciate any help. Thanks. IP: Logged |

You should consult a doc before you mix Accutane w/gear. I've tried Accutane (while not on gear) and it dried my skin so much I was peeling everywhere. I had to carry a fuckin bottle of lotion everywhere I went. It's also not good if you're exposed to sunlight alot. I'LL NEVER DO THAT SHIT AGAIN !!!!! IP: Logged |

... and you thought that sides from gear was bad, wait til you try this stuff!!! - but it works. I did a 4-month course about a year ago after I screwed my skin up on a heavy course of Cypionate. Accutane is very hard on the liver; makes Anadrol seem like Anavar. It dries your entire body out especially your nose (which can cause nose bleeds) and lips and eyes. Your hair and nails dry out and break easily. It causes hyper-sensitivity to sunlight and has known to cause depression. However, on the brighter side, many people are cured permanently of acne after only one course, but you gotta do it right. Dermatologists will put you on a course of 1mg/kg of body weight/day (1kg = 2.2 pounds). I guess that you would need about 80mg/day over a 4-month period. Expect your skin to worsen before it gets better and remember to drink lots of water and use a fatty ointment for your lips and get ready for a bit of discomfort. But let me tell you that I know quite a few people that have used Accutane, and although all of them have complained of side effects, not one of them said that they weren't happy that they used it! Good luck... IP: Logged |

When I was in the 9th grade in high school, I had a severe acne problem. My dermatologist had tried everything on me with no success. He finally prescribed Accutane. I did a four month cycle of the stuff. At the time I weighed about 160 lbs. I had a yellow 40mg pill that I took every morning. I also had a maroon 20mg pill that I took every night. Total of 60mg per day. Let me tell you that Accutane is some very powerful shit. Within a matter of 3 weeks, my whole body was completely dried out. I was like a snake sheading my skin. My doc was correct when he told me that my skin condition would get much worse before it got any better. He was so right. My lips, eyes, nose became so dry that I had to constantly use moisterizers (nasal sprays, eye drops etc.) on them. For a period of about 3 more weeks, I looked so bad, I would not go out in public. I was completely embarrassed with my appearance. Finally, somewhere around the 8th week, My skin started to clear up. To this day, I still have dry skin. I use lots of lotion on my skin everyday. Whenever I do get a pimple, it usually only stays around for a couple of days before it dries out. I am convinced that the Accutane is somewhat still in my system although it has been a very long time since I was on it. Or maybe it activated some sort of anti-oily skin hormone in my body. I know that most dermatologists will not prescribe this drug unless they have tried most all other milder alternatives. It is a "last resort" so to speak for very severe cases of acne. My doc told me that he will never prescribe it to a female because it will cause birth defects and screw up a woman's whole secretion system (menstrual cycle). I would not recommend anyone to take this drug without consulting with a dermatologist first. Considering all of the side effects that come along with it, if you combine these with the possible side effects of an AS cycle, I wouldn't even begin to think what may happen to you and your body.
