    10-20mgs is, I believe, a good dosage to start with.

    Thats with the intent to _permanently_ close the oil glands in your skin. If you just want to stop/prevent acne, I would theorize that you can get away with 10-20mg ED.

    Closing the glands can be done high dose short time or low dose long time. I did 40mg a week. Took a little longer (not much) and i had only one side effect.......a little sun sensitivity.....and thats it. And believe me.....i had worse acne than all of you........i had cystic acne.

    ive taken it when i was young. i beleive the normal dosages range from 10-80mgs day. i would prolly suggest taking 20-40mgs day. anything higher then that you will prolly be in pain froom being so dryed out. i was thinking about running 20mgs/day for 6 months myself.

    u got a pm.
