    why is it almost impossible to find accutane pills now ?

    Ok ive noticed it used to be really easy to get accutane now there are only 2 research sites i know of that sell the isotretinoin suspension. Why has accutane become increasingly harder to find?

    because of all the lawsuits associated with it. Every other commercial on TV nowadays is some attorney asking for your business if you took it or 100 other drugs.

    Something about depression if I remember correctly.

    peace,

    Yea tane is getting harder and harder to come across. Even if you have a presciption you have to have your Dermy place a yellow sticker on the script that is only good for a 1 month supply.

    Goto your dermatologist, if your acne is bad enough to warrant the tane then Im sure he'll prescribe it to you...If its not then maybe you can get some other type of prescription acne med...

    I've been on accutane for 4 months now and God damn is the shit a miracle. I dont have acne bad enough for a dermy. Im just using it to stop future break outs, because I break out bad PCT for about 4-6months..ANyways I get my accutane off a website..Its a legit site but the problem is price. A script will cover it, but its ver hard to get..Im doing 60mg ed. Thats 6 a day @ $1 a tab for 7 months...Thats pushing like $1300.00. Price I have to pay to stay acne free, but well worth it.. I dont want to post any websites on this board and get flamed. So PM me if you need accutane that bad and I'll give you the link..They have everything, but my man jayhova on this board told me all there other shit sucks..Mostly all Chinese generics, but the tane is a gelcap.

    What are you talking about kill you?????? How can accutane kill you?? Can you post and documented info on people dying from accutane to back up your statement to share with us??? I'm sure you cant.


    To further comment on your initial statement, I ran Accutane for 5 months and didnt breakout worse in the beginning. As soon as I started I dried up instantaneously and haven't broken out since. And that was about 3 years ago.

    IMHO accutane is the only thing out there that was 110% effective. If I had to do it all over again I would in a heartbeat.


    I'll be waiting for your debate over how hard it is no your liver and all the bodies accutane has claimed. I'm sure I"ll be waiting a very long time

    After my experience with the Tane I had to share my results. Plus I'm very good friends with a dermatologist and they told me numerous stories on people that were treated by every oral and topical and nothing worked. As soon as the switch was made to Accutane it was like a miracle.

    Seems like the original Roche gels work better then the generic caps

    its quite easy to get isotretinoine powder (active ingredient of accutane)...cheap ass hell compared to accu, only downside is that the powder reacts with O2, so in time the powder becomes less potent...

    The reason for the monthly Blood work is to make sure everything is under control. They mainly check for liver values and cholesterol. Its a precaution. Anything and everything has possible sides. If one is prone to these sides then Accutane will most likely effect them, I can agree with that. But saying that its going to kill your liver and kill you is an overstatement.

    I had my bloodwork done monthly and nothing budged over the course of 5 months. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I was cycling while on the Tane for a portion of the time. Once again if you are prone to sides they are inevitable.

    I'll be waiting for the documents on people that have died from accutane

    When I got my initial script my cost for 90 20mg Roche gels was like $700!! Obviously insurace covered it though.

    Does anyone have any idea how much accutane costs in mexico? I know you have to get a script for it in TJ which costs about $25.

    Take a shower...

    Maybe use shampoo on your skin. I dont have acne, nor have i done a cycle yet, but i always use shampoo for some odd reason.. maybe because it cuts through the oil on my skin real well.
    Shower before you go to bed and wear a shirt when you sleep.
    Isn't Niazcin REALLy good for your skin? Try that maybe?.. and if im right about using niacin, get the flush free kind.. otherwise you'll turn red, and get itch and maybe even dizzy for about 15 to 30 minutes. lol

    Damn, I guess it would be better to use your script and then order it from canada...

    Damn, I took the first 4 weeks of the brand name, and the last 8 weeks of generic. Now I'm on week 16 and about to buy the next batch, I think I'll go with the brand Roche then if you guys are saying the generic sucks? I did notice that the generic doesn't work half as well and was wondering why?

    I tried both and there was no comparison. The original Roche gels were 10X better hands down.
