I finally got my doctor to prescribe me accutane. I only have light to moderate acne but the doc prescribed me the 40mg tabs at 80 mgs a day. I understand that accutane is hard on the liver. I am in the tenth week of the below 11 week cycle. If I take milk thistle ED though out the accutane when mixed with the winstrol (also slightly toxic to the liver so I understand) do you think I will be all right? � This was my first cycle; I went from 5�10� 185 with a slight beer gut to 205 with decently cut abs. Can�t wait until my next one! (Wish I had done 750mgs though) Wk1 250 Duro250 IP: Logged |

Accutane is some tuff shit. I personally would not do it while on a cycle...i would wait a couple of weeks after a cycle and before your next one. Also, when I did accutane, they did blood test on me either once a week or once every two weeks. This stuff raises the triglycerides real high. Has your doc blood-tested you for a base-line yet? If so, werent you already elevated in some categories? Just my .02 IP: Logged |

What is the usual prescribed dose for Accutane? I need it and am getting it but not from a doctor and need to know how much to dose. IP: Logged |

I am on my second month of Accutane (perscribed by a doc and insurance paid for it all!). The dose is according to weight. I weigh about 170 - 175 and was dosed at 80mg per day. The biggest pill that Roche makes is 40mg so I take two of those per day. If I remember what the doc said, I think that 80mg is THE HIGHEST dosage they will perscribe. I personally am waiting until I finsh my five month cycle (that's right, FIVE MONTHS) of Accutane before I take any gear. This Shxx works like a charm but you usually don't see great results until the end of the second month. BTW, I have a few extra packs of 10 @ 40mg. Barter for gear?

...well did accutane treatment...sides are overrated...how can anyone train hard-if you can't take some sides...sides that are common are just dry lips and skin...and the testing every week-never heard of that...seems questionable to me...most do one test a month or just in the beginning, middle and the end...oh yeah...and he let me do 120mgs for a couple of weeks but most of treatment was 80 and 100 per day...oh yeah and shit works...

I was on accutane when I was 16. It was supposed to last only 4months but, at the 2 month mark I got mono and it almost killed me because mono is very hard on the liver also. My mother is a Med Tech so she offered to take my blood every two weeks as the doctor recommended. So I didn't get to complete my cycle, only half. Now I am 22 and the majority of the acne is still on my back and sometimes my shoulders. Sometimes it gets pretty bad and really embarrasing. Especially when I am telling most people that I am natural. Ha,ha, really. The only side I got from it was dry lips and that still stands today. The 40mg is the largest size, also comes in 20 and 30, if I remember correctly. I would not recomend taking it while on a AS, and it will increase hair loss(known fact). IP: Logged |

you have to get a blood test every month on accutane...ur doc will take you off if your liver enzymes are too high or low...high if your on the gear... if you want to stay safe...what I did...was get minocyclin, and triaz gel or emgel and then get this one soap...u can get it at Dillards from the mall and I assume kaufmans it's called shiseido and it's gentle foaming clenser...it's 25$ a bottle...but if you scrub and only use a pea sized amt on your face and back,shoulders, chest...etc 2-3x/day it will go away quick IP: Logged |
