Accutane at PCT?
I've started a cycle that is due to end mid Dec and now I'm a little worried about breaking out over Xmas & New Years when I really wanna be looking my best!!!!
It is a Test only cycle - 10 weeks at 330mg/week and I'm jumpstarting it with Dbol (25mg/day for 4 weeks) - my first cycle (apart froma Dbol only short cycle that worked well for me actually). It's a low dose 1st cycle.
I had acne problems long before & went through 2 courses of Acutane - on the 2nd course I stopped early and have about 6 weeks worth of Acutane saved. It really did work for me but I get the occasional flare-up.
Should I use these as a precaution at PCT (I'd probably not use them unless I feel a flare-up coming on - I can actually tell when!) - I know they are tough on the liver but it will have been 8 weeks or so since I took the Dbol (I will of course take Milk Thistle). I'll also take Vit A, Bit B5, Flax Oil, Zinc which all seem to help.

If you read up on accutane you will find that you should NEVER take any vitamin A while using it. It greatly multiplies liver damage since accutane is a retinoid which is a vitamin a derivative. Accutane is also not a PCT drug, but it can be used during this time, but best results would be to take during cycle since that is where the worst acne will be.

Yeh I should have pointed out that I supplement with Vit A to help the Accutane effects as I would only use half the recommended dosage of Accutane (one pill a day) - that way what I have will last longer by using it with Vit A. I am well aware that VIT A is perhaps the most toxic of vitamins as it can build up in the liver. I know it's not a PCT drug (nothing to do with restoring Test levels) - just wanted to know if it would interfere with the Clomid or Nolva and if anyone had experience with it working to prevent acne at the PCT stage when bad flare ups could occur.

Have you tried tretinoin cream or gel (brand name is Retin-A)?
