    Accutane.

    Hey quick question, Yes i know the forum rules, and No, accutane isnt considered an AAS so what im asking for should be alright.

    Basically whats the going price online for Accutane pills? I know they are prescription but iv been directed to get them online and iv seen a few sites most of them range different per pill and per dosage but im wondering especially with perth, Australia customs (Accutane being pills and all) would they come though customs fine?

    Another note, Anyone able to refer me to some decent priced sites?

    I used to get a prescription for this years ago; and since I have very little change of getting pregnant, it wasn't that difficult. But maybe Dr's are more reluctant to prescribe this? I'm, not too sure... I know if you're a woman and get pregnant on this your baby will have like three heads or something.

    Yes, however it's easily attainable from a simple Google search of "Tretinoin (Retin-A) Canada", find a reputable dealer, and go from there. Two years ago my acne was horrible and I had oily skin, blackheads, whiteheads, etc. My dermatologist prescribed me Retin-A 0.025 and told me to wash my face twice a day with Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%. The first two months my skin got dry as hell but around the fifth month my skin was completely clear. You should check it out man, I'll try to find the instructions she gave me a long time ago tomorrow.

    That and tanning. Eat clean, drink plenty of water, and take plenty of fish oil and you should see results in no time man.

    Hmm...switch your sheets out every week, pillow cases EOD, drink 4-8L of water ED, scrub VERY GENTLY and methodically with your facial cleanser for at least 60-90 seconds, use a clean wash cloth and clean towel every shower, etc. What exactly is the problem with your skin?

    Well at the moment i got a bunch of acne scars face, shoulders little on chest.

    Pimples on the face, back, chest. Cant say its from supplements like protein shake etc because well im not on any supplements due to im getting all my macros + a protein cerplus from my meals and i rather use supplements once i hit my platues, yet im still getting pimples, which leads me to think if i was ever to cycle in the future id be so screwed with acne haha

    Depends on what you cycle. You have it much worse than I've ever had. It looks like you have the right idea with Accutane, I'd research it quite a bit before jumping on it though.

    Some motivation:

    Before:



    After:

    Assuming a first cycle would be Test only.

    But yeah its not extremley bad to how i may have worded it but right now at the moment its just pimples thats my main worry, not much of a "confidence" boost when out in public if you know what i mean

    Use this twice a day in the showers for your face and on a wash cloth for your body. Pat softly afterwards with a clean towel



    Trust me and be gentle. Your skin may get dry, if it does, just let me know.

    I've used panoxyl in a bar. Honestly, I didn't see much difference. The acne I get are deep and like a nodule. If your acne's topical, then the topical stuff will help. If they're deep and like a pea or grape you need to stop the acne where they're starting. It's right at the sebaceous glands. Accutane or some other derivative of the drug is more effective for those type of acne.

    Ok, some quick info about Accutane or it's research chemical equivalent Isosolut.

    Scotch has hit the nail on the head. I too suffer from this type of acne. It's often referred to as cystic acne. It is not the typical rash-like acne many folks suffer from. It is large, deep, and potentially scarring. I was first put on Accutane in high school after exhausting every other possible aid. Scrubs, soaps, cleansers, Oxy-blah blah, all completely ineffective.

    This stuff changed all that.

    It is a serious drug and it is also NOT a short term fix. My experience was very positive. It cured what nothing else affected at all in about 4 months of treatment. During that time my skin became very dry. The skin that once was slick with oil by 10:00 am was flaking with dry skin and required lotion. In the morning blowing my nose would produce flecks of blood because my nasal passages were dry. Lips cracked and chapped.

    If this doesn't sound so appealing now let me just reiterate how happy I was with the results.

    My acne went away.

    Now, obviously I am prone to acne. I have, since high school, had two periods in my life when my acne resurged. Once was definitely brought about by taking an otc pro hormone. In both cases I was prescribed Accutane again and it cleared the trouble completely.

    This was one of the things that really gave me pause when I considered steroids for the first time.

    Short answer? My acne did indeed return a few months after my first cycle.

    Having stepped over to the darker side of chemical enhancement I pursued accutane on my own and found Isosolut. Isosolute is the same chemical found in accutane (Isotretinoin) suspended in liquid form (drink it). I have been using it for over a month now and believe it to be exactly the same. My body is behaving just as it has in the past when on accutane.

    Please keep in mind that accutane is intended for a long term treatment of cystic acne. Several serious side effects have been linked to it some of which, I believe, have pending lawsuits that caused the maker of the drug to pull it from the US market in 2009 if I recall correctly.

    I am currently taking 40 mg a day split over two doses. I intend to take it for at least 3 months to avoid reoccurring acne later. This is generally the starting dosage for accutane but Isosolut seems to be working very well at this dose so I am not going to increase it. There is also the potential for an initial flare up after treatment begins, so be aware of that.

    Hit up Wikipedia for further details.

    Accutane has some serious side effects that you may want to look into...some of the other products suggested here were new to me, so I think I will check out some of those.

    I'd personally recommend staying away from Accutane. I took it when I was growing up, and have irreversable stomach/digestive problems because of it.
    From what I hear, it has a fairly high rate of side effects like that. Also, shaving dead skin off of your face in the morning, and your lips bleeding all day because they're chapped from the inside out, is not fun.

    Just my .02

    For anyone having trouble with steroid-induced acne, or anyone considering using Accutane, please read this thread I wrote yesterday and has already been buried: http://forums.steroid.com/showthread....#.UEPjVGt5mSM

    Also, to respond to other poster's comments about Accutane's side effects, most of these people have not even taken the drug and are just reporting side effects they've heard of. While I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than recalcitrant, severe acne that has not responded to other treatments, I can personally attest to the fact that the side effects are not that bad and are all manageable with lip gloss, moisturizer, and vitamin e. As far as gastrointestinal side effects, people who have suffered from these particularly nasty sides were generally individuals who already had IBS or another gastro problem. If they did not at the time, they were probably young and the gastro problems had not yet manifested, so that the Accutane simply triggered an underlying condition. Nonetheless, read the article I posted, and you probably won't have to consider taking Accutane.

    Hope this is helpful

    Well that fvck for this,

    It is genuinely the first ever thread regarding accutane where the sides havnt been blown out of all porportion by people who just parrit bullshit and havnt even used the stuff

    and whoever mentioned liver protection, if it milk thistle or liv52 you had in mind then dont bother, you may as well eat skittles

    I was on 80mg a day at 14 years of age, bi-weekly bloodwork due to high dose at young age, my liver values idi SLIGHTLY raise, but they were still well within the normal ranges

    stop listening to b.s from people, you will experience little to know sides at 20mg, which is high for acne prevention on cycle, i was on 4's that dose at 14yr old and had dry lips, so use some balm, dry skin so get a decent mpisturiser

    it really is that simple

    Accutane is typically prescribed for four months. Typical dosage for an adult male is 20mg alternated with 40mg every-other-day. Please do yourself a favor and click the link I provided above to another thread about acne and steroids. If you read it, you probably won't even have to consider taking Accutane. Althought I stated earlier that the sides were not as horrible as many people make them out to be, Accutane should be considered (and is in the medical community) a last-resort for treating acne. Unless you have severe cyctic acne, or recalcitrant acne that has responded to nothing else (including the many excellent prescription acne products, both topical creams and antibiotics), taking Accutane is really not necessary. You should also be very careful about taking Accutane and oral AAS like Dianabol. Bi-weekly blood tests are a must if you decide to undertake this risky mix of meds.
