    When Do sides start from a cycle?

    I want to start my test/deca cycle now...but I also want to take accutane to prevent acne. I cant get on the acccutane for about another week and a half...and was wondering how long it would take to get sides from a long ester steroid?

    is it test E? I wouldn;t expect sides until midway thru the second week at the soonest. Accutane takes a while to start working tho man, so i'd get friggin oxy wipes er sumthin...

    dude i wouldn't take accutane unless you know for sure your gonna get bad acne accutane is some pretty harsh stuff i would try simpler measures

    Yeah I took accutane as a teenager and it sucked. It should be used as a last ditch treatment instead of preventitive measures. Get some good face wash and salicylic acid. If that doesn't work, there are perscrition strenth acre medecations like retin-a that you should use before accutane. No need to put extra strain on your organs and feel like crap for months at a time if you don't have to.

    It's not so obvious you'll manifest acne...I'm on 5th week of test+deca and haven't notice any side yet.

    Like the others said avoid accutane if you can. Having a steady hormone level may help your acne. I recommend taking a mild AI along with your cycle, something like proviron. Acne can be caused by the estrogen so limiting the estrogen may be the best route. Besides proviron makes your testosterone work better. Accutane is nasty stuff.

    Agreed. Try benzaclin topical gel, avail from your doctor. If that doesnt get it I would try a ninimal dose of an AI. During the summer ill run .5mg eod of arimidex to help with estro related sides. But, beware as many will preach that using an AI on cycle will hinder gains...tanning, lots of water and a topical first?? This may help. cheers....

    I will need accutane for sure. I need it for my skin naturally....let alone on steroids.
    I have tried every other prescription acne med available, and accutane was the only thing that ever worked. It really wasnt that bad...just the worst dry lips imaginable.
