accutane and steroid

**joeybenz** · 09-02-2004, 09:29 AM

is it good to do both at the same time because I know steroids takes a toll on you liver and so does accutane

Take B-5 instead. Try 5-10g ed for 5-10 days the 3-5g ed thereafter. Works great! Very comparable to accutane without the sides of it. Not liver toxic either.

In my opinion, its not comparable to accutane at all. Not saying he should take accutane while on cycle, I would definitely not do that. I would even really consider it before taking accutane at all. I took it, and managed to avoid a lot of the major sides. All I really experienced was VERY dry lips, and my healing capabilities were inhibited. I skinned my elbow while on it, it never really healed and ended up getting infected. It's a harsh drug but works really well.

harsh drug yes, but it works. I am on 80mg a day and the dry lips kill me. try b5 at 1st and see if that works. DO NOT use any orals while on accutane. Unless you want you liver to turn into swiss chesse!

I take 40mg pills twice a day, for 5months. this stuff cuts deep into my pocket so sometimes I cut back on the dosage if I run low or the sides get too out of hand. I am on month 3 and I am better than the start for sure.

Look bro, accutane works great. My best friend used it for a while until he started acting funny after about a year. He once passed out kinda like a siezure(whether from accutane or not) But any ways we had a few drinks one night...then a few more(shouldn't have I know) And he went subconcius on me, he ran his suv right through somebodies yard and **** near clipped the house. He hasn't taken it since. Be careful with that stuff man.

yeah it the best thing for acne. what was your friends medical history? ive used accutane int he past and just experienced chapped lips, and lots of pussy. its good and my bloodwork( i never had any problems with it). your friend sounds like he has medical problems also the seizure might have been from drinking your NOT supposed to drink while on accutane or juice
