About to begin Accutane
Starting 30mg tomorrow, is there any supplements or vitamins I should take to lessen any possible side effects?

Gets Burts Bee's for your lips ASAP and get as much sunlight as you can, can cause depression even if not prone to it
Good Luck, it will get rid of the nasties but has some nasties of its own, get you liver checked every 3 months.

Ok thanks Razr! I tan pretty regularly so that shouldn't be a problem.

i was on 80 ed for 6 months, ur face/lips get dry and bleed alot but that wasnt a problem at all compared to the nose bleeds. if i blew my nose or touched the inside it would pour. some times for no reason just start bleeding due to dryness. for about two weeks i had 5-6 nose bleeds a day that lasted up to an hour long. very week and dizzy by the end of it. had to get emergency cotorized a few times. putting cream up on the middle part in your nose helps but not when u get to the stage i was at. i dried dropping the dose to 20ed but the bleeds kept coming to the point where i had to stop. and you become VERY SENSITIVE TO SUNLIGHT. i was perscribed special sunscreen for going outside in the summer. you may not need it with your dose but apply lots of sunscreen often. blood test every month would be the way to do aswell. supplements you could take none really other then sum liv52 but that wont stop sides just try and support ur liver. drink lots of water and dont drink alcohol aswell.

I was told by dermatologist to avoid sunbeds at all costs while on accutane as it will destroy your skin
Sides i experience are dry skin (good moistouriser cream fixes this), severe chapped lips (lip balm several times a day, if I dont then they bleed) and depending on the dose I get random nose bleeds, nothing to fix this that im aware of except lowering the dose
No depression or anything else, I think the ones I listed are the common sides and the rest are pretty rare
Except for the stress on liver which is different for everybody

From personal experience be careful I had side effects. If you tan. Don't and keep your reps super high weight super low it will weaken your bones. So stick to machines. My experience it made my fingernails so sore I cudnt close my hands and being a personal trainer it was horrible everything I grabbed I squealed like a bitch.

It's a tough trade. Treating the acne, but getting symptoms similar to chemo therapy, from the accutane.
My night vision was shit when I was on accutane for 18 months.....

I would run a good probiotic to help keep your stomach health in order. There have been some serious stomach disorders
associated with ACCUTANE use but this can help prevent those.

Been on for a week no side effects yet. But I have noticed I have gotten acne on my chest, which is usually rare for me. Does it get worse then get better?

Yes it could be worse for up to the first month as it pushes the oil out of the glands
But then beautiful oil free clear skinLast edited by DanB; 02-14-2012 at 01:05 PM.

So basically you gotta get over the first month or two and then you will see results

I'm assuming this was doc prescribed?
I've never had a problem running up to 40mg's/day. If the acne is really bad..... i'll use 40mg's/day until I start seeing some results.... then I drop to 20mg's until i'm pretty clear. Then I drop to 10mg's for a few weeks after i'm clear and the acne hasn't returned unless i screw with my dosage drastically.
Worst part about it was dry lips..... nothing else.....

Is it supposed to get worse before it gets better?

I started to see results at 20mgs twice a day within the first week.. After the first month almost stopped having acne, currently my dermo has me on 40mgs twice a day.. I now get like 5 pimples a month.. Going on month 3, she told me I'll be on for another 3 months
Mine doc prescribed, I'm currently have chap stick with me, and oh yes the nose bleed got one while I was asleep woke me up.. But not that bad no more, I was getting about 2 a day the first two - three weeks doctor said everything I experience was normal I also was getting tired..
The bw also every month, my liver values where normal At 30 mgs twice per day so I will see her on the 2nd marchLast edited by FONZY007; 02-20-2012 at 05:30 AM.

I am using generic accutane btw. I don't know if this makes much of a difference. And this is the beginning of my third week*, not fourth.

Have any of you ever used antibiotics successfully to treat acne while on-cycle? Tetracycline, Erythromycin, Minocycline, Doxycycline and Clindamycin are the antibiotics I've read about that are used by dermatologists to treat acne. I'm considering obtaining one of these myself, granted that they will not interfere with my health while injecting anabolics.
