Accutane with an oral steroid and test prop

[ramacher]

Would taking accutane along with anavar (with test) be too taxing on the liver? Or should I run them separately?

[Razor]

There are better solutions to acne than accutane. And both of those are very toxic. Accutane has been linked to chrones disease
A trentinal, or retninal would work wonders and it topical. Or try doxicycline
If you must take both take "liver longer"

[Bonaparte]

I would not stack any orals with Accutane.

[ScotchGuard02]

I concur, if you're running Test Prop you probably don't need the anavar.

[ucf465]

accutane is terrible for you. let alone being stacked with an oral aas.

DONT DO IT!!

ACCUATANE is a weird drug,,,some have no problems while others have severe issues. I would keep an eye on your liver through appropriate blood work and labs. A solid liver protectant wouldnt be a bad idea either.

Yeah I tried all the cremes, anti-botics, doxy, and mino but acne still persists.

if you do run it, start low 10mg per day and I would suggest getting bloods done before you start just to check liver values arent already high for whatever reason and bloods again in say 6 - 8 weeks just to be safe, i've ran as high as 40mg with liver values still in normal range, but like above post says everybody reacts to it differently

[ramacher]

I can get it from a source of 30mg tabs.

[FONZY007]

I can get it from a source of 30mg tabs.

Been on for 2 months start at 20mg twice a day and now 30mg twice a day.. Get blood work every month, tried the antibiotics and they didn't work.. Liver values didn't change on me

Sides for me at least dry skin big time and I'm hella tired

[Honkey_Kong]

Seriously, from all the bad shit I've read about accutane, unless you're competing, maybe you should just deal with the acne.

[Noles12]

When i was on accutane i did nothing that could harm my liver anymore. I had severe acne on my back since my teens. the dermatologist put me on 120mg a day for 6 months. It was brutal. Im happy i got it over with and havent had acne sonce but dont know if i would do it all over again.

I didnt run anything nor did i drink while i was on it

[Windex]

Minocycline HCL is what I'm currently taking. Zero side effects, no problems with my blood work, and acne has been clearing up somewhat. 100mg/day.

[DanB]

Are they generic yeah? I think roche only comes in 10,20,40mg

[gixxerboy1]

if you are just trying to clear up and not reduce the glands the way it is designed you can get away with taking less. I can take as little as 30mg 3x a week and get clear on cycle

[ramacher]

That is what I was thinking gixxer, none of the anti-botics have helped improve my skin, or made it worse.

[caseyizzle]

I've taken a 4 week dbol cycle while on accutane, had no problems whatsoever. Doctor checked my liver and everything was fine. Although i don't recommend it. I was also running 80mg of accutane. Which is quite a lot. Many of you may think i'm crazy, but i knew how my body reacted to accutane as i've taken it twice.

Accutane is far overhyped as far as side effects go. I've had acne my whole life, really, really bad. Worse than most of you guys can imagine. Luckily i had no scarring. But i know a thing or 2 about acne.

I really love when people come and try to chime in saying that they understand, they don't have a clue of what it's like to deal with serious acne. Trust me i know a thing or two about acne and there is NOTHING, i repeat.. NOTHING that can cure acne besides accutane.

If you guys knew anything about acne you'd know that anti biotics are a temporary solution, and in the long run your acne will come back worse. Not only that but you can't use them forever, why? Well because your body gets immune to them.

Acne is not as easy as "oh take an antibiotic" or "oh clean your face". It's much, much more complicated than that.

It's just like you guys that have taken tons of cycles, you know by experience and research exactly what steroids do, and you understand. And that's how i feel with acne.

So you steroid gurus, please don't act like you know anything about acne, because i guarantee i know much more than you. And accutane is the ONLY choice for severe acne. You don't grow out of it. It's either take accutane, or kill yourself from depression caused by the acne.

Strange logic there.
What does competing have to do with not wanting to look like a zit-covered monster?
BTW, the fake tan stuff covers everything.

Exactly. Before accutane I was embarrassed to take my shirt off in public since the age of 14 due to acne. You have painful zits that do not look good at all. Years of trying antibiotics, tanning, dish soap, and anything else you have ever heard of to get rid of acne. Nothing worked. Accutane was amazing and other than the occasional zit i am clear. It is a big difference from having 100 or so on your back some being large postules

they are some pretty damn stupid statements right there, i agree that accutane is only way to treat serious acne but your assumption that your only person on board that knows anything about acne is arrogant and shows your immatureity, you do realise that there are people here who have prob struggled with acne longer than you have been alive, not to mention the people like myself who have ran accutane several times, and what about the members with medical backgrounds, are they clueless aswell?

okay.... i'll throw my .02 out there.....

Accutane IMO is an absolute miracle drug! You DO NOT understand until you've had such severe acne that you don't want to go out in public.

The hype regarding accutane and chrons disease is ridiculous...... there are 1000 other commerials on tv regarding other drugs but since accutane is the most used by people on this website..... it gets parroted around that you'll get chrons disease from it. Keep the dosage extremilly low and MOST wont have a problem. There are always exceptions ofcoarse.....

Regarding the liver toxicity..... it has been reported that liver values increase and it CAN happen. With that said..... the liver toxicity of orals on this website is seriously out of hand. People act like you're going to go on dialysis after 2 days of being on anavar and accutane. I started an anadrol and dbol combo with test - my acne got horrid so i threw some accutane in there and i was FINE. Liver values barely elevated..... and after a few weeks my acne was gone and didn't return.

I you want to permanantly shut down your oil glands then you need to run accutane the same waya doctor would prescribe it. A moderate dosage for an extended period of time. Is this necessary to stay clear while on cycle? NO! Keep the dosge low and make sure you are monitored to be safe. Accutane isn't a "liver assassin" like everyone claims it to be. People abuse the shit out of all sorts of drugs for years on end..... pain killers, party drugs, even heavy doses of otc pain relievers..... a few weeks of accutane isn't going to kill anyone unless they have other issues that need to be addressed.

While I think it's important to keep the best interest of the (OP) in mind we also shouldn't be udderly ridiculous with some of the shit we say and/or parrot.

I agree that Accutane was a miracle drugg! I had such extreme acne in my mid to late teens, I had to wear 3 t-shirts to school every day, then my mom would have to help me get the one closest to my skin off, it was painful, and I oozed so much puss, the shirt was stuck to my skin.... like peeling tape off. Two years at 40 then 70 a day, and my acne was almost cured.

Within months of going off the stuff, I began having severe digestive issues. Not Chrons, but to date, it still hasn't been diagnosed. Three Specialists have blamed it on the Accutane.

I feel my digestive issues are partially what brought me here. So many foods I can't eat... all the good stuff that will help me gain weight, also make me sick.
I am rambling....

Damn bro sorry, I broke out with about 200 zits on my back and chest and jumped on accutane currently at 30mg twice a day, she said she might bump me up to 40mg twice a day and than stay there for like 2 months and get me off..

I couldn't deal with it, I was going crazy and made me feel nasty about myself

[oohrahbrent]

I took accutane as a teenager and suffered from depression and an eventual suicide attemp at the age of 15. But Im 36 now and the long term side effects were unknown at the time. Granted I never suffered from acne again after treatmen and it does work, but I would explore all options before taking this medication.

[optionsdude]

I took acutane about 10 years ago. I can't remember the dosage but it worked great. It literally takes all of the oil out of your skin. It made me immune to poison oak while I was taking it. You have to have chapstick,water,and hand lotion on hand all of the time. When I was on TRT I did get some acne back so I just shower twice a day and scub good. If it gets out of control again I would try using accutane again. I don't think I would take with orals though.

I've been taking Anadrol for four weeks now and have developed acne on my shoulders and chest. It doesn't look too severe (no puss heads) but I have a mass of tiny red bumps that itch quite a bit. I've started tanning this week and have been exfoliating it heavily in the shower, followed by rubbing bath salts into the acne and letting it sit for several minutes in hopes that my skin will absorb the salt chemicals (think swimming in salt water), but do you guys know of any medicated topical solutions that you would recommend? I've looked up buying Accutane online but I'm a little leery of it based on the mixed reviews I've read here regarding hepatoxicity. Also, do any of you think that swimming in chlorinated water (my gym has an olympic pool) would be beneficial for drying up the acne?

I just looked at my labs for it today I was bumped up to 40mg twice a day, chapped lips are my main concern.. Lol I've been on for 3 months and my labs are all ok or may I say within normal range,

I use clean and clear with 10% benzoyl peroxide in it and it helps, I purchase it from Walmart

[optionsdude]

One thing I would be concerned with is it minimizing the effect of injections. Accutane is depleting the oil in your skin. I'm sure it would have to have some sort of effect on the oil from the injection. I'm telling you when I got poison oak while taking accutane the only effect was red patches on my skin no blisters at all and it was gone in 3 days. My fishing buddy I was with going through the same stuff had to go to urgent care and get a shot. And still had the red patches on his skin for about a week.
