Blood test have been required every month and have checked out within range everytime. They test for liver values as well, so even at the 50mg/day of dbols it wasn't taxing my body too much at all.

The first couple months no real difference occured, after month 3 pores on my face began to shrink. I never had much of a problem with acne on my face at all, I might get 2 zits at each end of the cycle when my hormones are all jacked up. My shoulders and upper back were more of a problem area, not bad but their would be a breakout after comng off the cycle. I was by no means a sever case of acne, but tired of coming off a cycle (a time when you may look your best) and having to deal with some minor breakouts.

Sides: not bad at all. Dryskin dry lips two nosebleeds (maybe the gear not the accutane). No urges to kill myself (depression).

Other than my insurance company being a bunch of Bitches (Fuck You General American!) the experience thus far has been great. I have been getting lazy on my showers after workouts and it doesnt matter at all. Perfect skin from head to toe, in the midst of this cycle.

I heard some flames when I posted that I was going to run Accutane and a cycle which included orals concurrently, saying it is "worthless" as one shuts down the oil in your skin while the other generates more; I said I didn't believe so, so I tried it and so far it has been very effective.

One side effect which may occur is thinning of the hair, but after accutane usage is complete it is supposed to come back to normal, this was my real concern, and as I was running the dbol I noticed hair shedding, nothing crazy, but enough for me to begin my taper a early.

All in all its not as much hassle as I originally thought. Some dry skin, UV sensativity but thats about it. The benefits have far outweighed the disadvantages!

Hope it helps those that are thinking about using it.

They start you off at a lower dose (for me it was 20mg) to avoid the initial breakout that may occur if you start using it the first month at the full dosage.

Chapstick: I have some but to tell you the truth it hasnt been bad at all, I rarely need to use it. For about 2 weeks I had to use it everyday, but now I never need it. Face lotion everyday though, not sure if I need it but I can't be dry skinned or scaley at work or anything so I don't take the chance.
