Low dose is the way to go 10-20mg's

Although some say you have to have done a cycle of a high dose before utilizing a low dose of maintenance successfully

Get bloods done and liv support

depends what your goal is. Do you break out normally? or is it just to stay clear on cycle? For on cycle use i can get away with 20mg eod or e3d and stay clear

Depends on how acne prone you are. I am very prone, and use 40mg EOD, just because I only have 40mg caps; 20mg per day is good for me.

Only sides i ever experienced from it was dried out lips on dose of 40mg daily and it cleared up severe acne on shoulders in roughly 3 months,no other medication helped even slightly previously to this

I personally had horrible side effects from acutane cudnt work out if I wanted 2

**aussie_bodybuilda** · 10-10-2011, 07:01 AM

well i want to get rid of accutane i have from previous cycles... want to get rid of it b4 summer....

was also considering to do the accumulative dosage which is meant to get rid of the pimples completely for ever so they never come back? or is that just a myth ?

and if i were to do a cycle and take accutane at the same time wouldnt it slow down ur gains / ruin ur cycle if ur on gear?

**gixxerboy1** · 10-10-2011, 08:05 AM

it wont ruin your cycle or effect your gains,
Yes it does work to keep you clear for ever. But if you do another cycle you can still break out

It took months of use but finally started to help me.

Just posted a comment because I was suprised to see it all over the forum.

I have to agree with you on this one. ACCUTANE has been a roller coaster as far as medicines. Some have zero problems,,while others can have SERIOUS issues.

so if i took 20mg EOD it would keep me clear on cycle? well for most people it would anyway? but also probly depends on the person / amount of gear they are using i guess.?

You get burnt easy and are more seceptable to skin cancer. Dont do it.

To the OP...

10mg/ED is where I'd start. At 20mg/ED, my skin was clear.

Do not drink alcohol.

Get liver and kidney function tests.

Do not get a female pregnent.

for most yea. start off low.

**iforged05** · 10-13-2011, 04:07 PM

swifto is definitely right. when I was on accutane prescribed from my derm, we had kidney and liver tests done every two weeks. its a real serious drug. low dosage would be best, for a few months

to get liver and kidney function tests u have to do a blood test? or ?

**jay5** · 10-14-2011, 07:02 PM

can you use 10mg e3d or does it have to be taken closer then that. I don't have alot but it seems like a couple days out of the week i'll have one or 2 and it's every week im 32 and it's just embarassing

I heard about birth defects happening from women taking the drug while conceiving, but if we're on the drug we can cause the birth defects in them too?
