As some of you know, I have researched the hell out of accutane (thanks to the bros who gave me their personal experiences!) - well I started on Sunday night. My acne isn't really too bad, just towards the end of cycles for a month I get a mild case of it. I am vain though, and usually never breakout which makes it all the more apparent when I get some. I am willing to sacrafice a few months of dryness, for a few years of virtually acne free cyccling. For anyone that is interested, I will post/email my results/sides during the upcoming 4-6 months. I will be running accutane while starting a big-for-me Mass Cycle come the end of september. So far only sides have been dry mouth (not bad at all) just keeping me thirsty. Slopain IP: Logged |

Good luck with the accutane! I've done it twice, however my acne came back just a bad if not worse due to the fact that I took some pro-hormones. I'm about to hit my first AS cycle as soon as my source restocks, then seriously consider 1 more damn cycle of accutane following the AS. Hate the little shits! IP: Logged |

Just a note. I just came from the tanning bed and posted on the wall they had some medications that MAY cause a reaction when tanning. Accutane was one of them. Just to let you know since alot of guys use the beds to fight acne also. IP: Logged |

Most dermatologists will prescribe accutane only as a last resort. Try again at a different doc, but tell him you have tried all other methods� Triaz, Retin-A Micro, benzomycin, antibiotics, those kinds of drugs. He will then have no choice but to give you your accutane. I have been on accutane for almost two months now. The only side I have had is a stick of chopstick at home, in the car, and in the office. No dry mouth. I guess It effects everyone different. Tip number 2 � if he does prescribe it look in the little refill box in the bottom left hand of the prescription sheet. If the doc forgot to put a zero as they often do. I think a 2 or 3 would look better there for future use if needed� Worked for me.(Now I have a Stash of Accutane) IP: Logged |

I am not on AS now, in September I will be. I believe me accutane cycle will take me from md/end July to December, while my sus250/dbol/deca/winny cycle will start end sept and go to mid to late december. Slopain IP: Logged |

I agree with Go Fast Man, the stuf is easily precscribed, if you doc doesn't want to give it to you - (unless he is a family friend) simply say, "listen I am going to get it, if you don't want to prescribe it, thats fine - I will go elsewhere to get it" Whatever these guys say, Docters are in business, everyone tries to make it seem like their are just docs to help people, thats bs - most are out to make money. Docs do help people, but for the most part I think it goes hand in hand with making more money. If you doc see you (a customer if you will) ready to leave, he will reconsider (knowing that you can easily get it from another doc) Excuse the rant, but for the last couple months I have been getting screwed by docs/med insurance and need to vent. I am sure not ALL docters are only interested in the $, (although all insurance companies are) Slopain IP: Logged |

Hey guys I'm in the skin care business and I have to tell you I would not take accutane as a first or even second choice. Get you any product at walmart that contains 2-5%salicylic acid (oxy pads) just dot it anywhere you have a breakout starting a couple times a day especially after workouts and this stuff will dry you out without drying out the good spots on your face. ------------------ IP: Logged |

tried that, most stuff has little effect when you are dealing with cycling AS and hormonal changes. My skin is perfect when Im not on, its just when I am on and for about 1 month afterwards. As you guys know this is usually when you want to be going out most. What good is a tight body with acne? Slopain IP: Logged |
