Accutane information..... If you are thinking of using it..... PLEASE READ

[sixey]

Haz....so i posted some acne issues i ran into right when i hit PCT and you gave some comments....

I said i was going to my doc and he stated to me that accutane was being banned on the medical distribution list in the U.S.

Has anyone heard that?

Instead he gave me a scrip of tetracycline which is far less harsh he stated than accutane. It has been one week and it is drying up my acne already.

I know there are negatives on this drug also, but so far so good. I just got my blood work done and will post up what i find out in a couple days. I am interested if others use this drug and how it worked and also if anyone has run into the "banned" in the US thing with the accutane.

Great posts everyone...thanks for the info.

is your acne more of just pimples or do you get the extremely oily skin?

i have tried minocycline and im pretty sure tetra as well with no result. if your skin isnt oily and your getting little zits/cysts...that seems to be something antibiotics can help. but if your main problem is just excessive oil then your going to have to run some low dose accutane. (some people say B5 in massive doses helps...i tried it once and it didnt do anything, even chased with juice the bulk powder tastes horrible too haha)

I've never had issues with acne until i cycled and only started getting acne when i hit PCT....my skin was not extremely oily but i was getting larger harder zits on my delts and lower/middle back...it hurt, sucked and is embarrasing. They were larger and were not small surface type zits. It is drying it up pretty good now.

I have also added b5 to my vitamin regiment. I have heard to do 2000 mg's for 2 weeks then scale back to 1000 a day when on cycle and 500 between.

After seeing a suggestion by Haz in another thread I started taking B5 @ 5g a day and even though it's less then the suggested 10-20g for acne protocol it seemed to work wonders for me! Honestly my skin has never been this clear!

Thanks again Haz!

How long after the b5 regiment did you start to see results and was this all you did?

The first day it got a tiny bit worse but by day 4 my skin was clear. Just a few red spots left from where zits used to be. Now it's day 6 and it's damn near spotless. And I'm kinda pale right now. I haven't tanned in a month or more. However don't give up to early. I read it take 3 days to 2 weeks to see results.

Ending hijack sorry.
