Accutane And My Cycle

**tvd220** · 02-15-2006, 03:17 AM

Ok i gotta qestion about my health, steroid use and accutane. Do I ask my doctor or health profesional?? Nope, I ask my bros at AR!!

Anyway hears the deal: Im in week 11 of a 21 week cycle of test E @450mg per week, and deca @300mg per week. Good gains, very happy, top of the world. BUT got that bacne and some face acne and it has gotten worse in the last few weeks.

To make a long story short, my doctor gave me a rx of accutane and i begin this Thursday which i cant wait. Now under someone else advise I brought my cycle way down to like 100mg of test a week in the last two weeks to prepare for the accutane. I was planning on stopping. But after talking to a feew bros here, they informed that i dont need to stop my cycle.

QUESTION--How should i alter my cycle to prepare for my accutane treatment?? Shoul;d i stop, bring it down or what??
any advise you have for accutane use and steroids would be cool.

and aggain thanks ar, for the 2 years you have been looking out!

I have ran Accutane at 60mgs ED for 5 months. For half of that time I was on and didnt experience and side effects with monthly bloodwork to show for it. I'm not saying that you will experience the same as it will vary.

I dont see why you would bring your test down to 100mgs for 2 weeks to "prepare" for accutane though. Seeing that you are at week 11 most will see their gains slow down at around this point. 21 weeks is long and I'd say too long of a cycle just consisting of Deca and Test.

Why dont you stop your Deca now and Run the Test E for another week, then start PCT 14 days after your last Test injection? That way you will still get a solid 3 month stack and be off for your accutane. Then there will be no worries and you can take the time while you're on accutane to recover from your stack and prepare and research your next. If that's the road you choose to stay on....................

sounds good, I was on a long cycle because of the relatively low doses I was taking.
now when I'm on the accutane, and I decide on a nother cycle in a few months, would that bring back the acne and make my accutane a waste of time? or is the accutane much stronger then a cycle when it comes to the acne.

Once again this will vary.

In my case I have been off Accutane for several years and can count on one hand how many zits I've had since then..........................So yes I am very happy with my results...

When your doctor gave you that RX for accutane, did he make you get a blood test first at all?

I ask because I am in a similar position myself, I will be in week 10 at the time of my cycle, (test/deca /anadrol ), the drol was only run for 4 weeks. I just wonder if my blood work will come back alright?

accutane is the greatest thing i did in my life i love it! i cycled 4 tiems after accutane and i am acne free!!!!!!

**tvd220** · 02-15-2006, 09:07 PM

hova and arnold, it seems like from your experience that accutane is the way to go. I look foward to my accutane cycle. Does it get really bad before it gets better?
The works-Yes, i took a blood test two weeks ago, and everything was fine and they gave me the rx. I think your blood work is fine, they dont test for juice, just your liver values. and even if they are off, they will give you meds to fix it, and still give you your accutane. Keep me posted on your results, we will be going through the same shit at the same time.

Would it be a safe idea for me to end my cycle, and at the same time start accutane?? Isnt that too many potential depresents?

I'm running accutane and 1gram test e a week and the only side effect is cholesterol, so you have to keep an eye on that.

For most yes, in my case not one bit. Within 2 weeks I dried up big time and never turned back. One of the best decisions I ever made.......

well, I just don't want to be counterproductive.
do you think that its ok to be going through pct while starting out accutane? because of all the combined sides?

accutane sides,very dry lips and hands.
minimal elevation in transaminases.

**Daddy Fatsacks** · 02-16-2006, 08:59 PM

I'm takin clomid and accutane. I have had no problems. The only sides i got from the accutane are dry lips and increased anxiety. I'm taking 40 mg a day.

**tvd220** · 02-17-2006, 01:04 AM

how has the accutane been working for you?
So the clomid has promoted any extra acne?

**tvd220** · 02-17-2006, 01:06 AM

I was thinking about the clomid/acne combo with reguards to the depression aspect.
The clomid making you emotional and the accutane potentially making you depressed. (as warned by every other website on a google search, and nobody who has used it.)
