Accutane

[bigt10]

Hey guys that have been on accutane.

What other sides did you guys experience besides very dry skin.

This stuff seems really harsh but works.

I swear some of my joints feel harsh and running is harder i feel it in my knees.

The sweat burns your skin lol.

To some of you experienced cyclers how does the sides of accutane compare to other AAS (tren, etc..) I realize this is comparing apples and oranges but overall what do you find more harsh.

Stiff back.. Lips peel like a mofo for ever.. mood changes.. pretty much bi-polar characteristics.. the x girlfriend was on it.. pretty much like she was on her peroid all the time damn! haha

accutane is bad news homeskillet

Not so bad for everyone. I use it and it does a great job and doesn't cause much issue other than the dry lips. I run low doses though. 20-40mg/day.

Took it about 6 years ago and had dry skin, dry lips and dry nose.

Try high dosed vitamin A (50-100,000 iu)and zinc combined.

Try high dosed vitamin A (50-100,000 iu)and zinc combined.

High Vit A dosing can be quite dangerous too. be careful

What are the sides of a high vit A dose?

[N4cer]

I'd go with a ton of B5 if you want an effective vitamin.

10g/day until dried up, then 3-4g/day maintenance.

accutane is a great medicine for 95% of people. dry lips, nose, and skin are the most common side effects. Elevated triglycerides is the next most common. ABnormal liver finction tests and altered night vision can alos occur. You should never EVER EVER combine oral steroids and accutane!! as it exponentially and synergistically increases the liver toxicity of both compounds. Combining it with injectable steroids, while much safer than oral, still can really raise your cholesterol and triglycerides, so I still advise against it. The muscle aches and joint soreness are common if you exercise intensely while on accutane. best to take it easy for those 5 months...thus even more the reason you shouldn't combine accutane and any steroids.
trust me , i know a lot about this subject

i don't understand... everybody tells horror stories about accutane and their sides... ive never had any sides but maybe the occational dry lips... no mood swings, no nose bleeds, no suicidal thoughts, no depression.... accutane is just as individual as sauce wit the sides... and as for taking sauce (oral or injects) that is a no no....

[N4cer]

You never hear the normal stories. They don't grab attention.

90 mg is wayyyyy tooooooooooo much

[J*U*icEd]

90 mg is wayyyyy tooooooooooo much

well that is not nessisarily true... accutane doseage is based on body weight... so how much do you weight man??

[N4cer]

That sounds like a perfectly normal dosage.

[bigt10]

the only thing im worried about is does the oil production go back to normal after treatment?

and yes that is a normal dosage it goes by weight and is prescribed from dermatologist.
