Substitution to accutane?

[YelaWolf]

I hate the cyclines like mino tetra and doxy, make me feel like a cancer patient, I just feel like total ass. The only time I would take them is for Lyme which the ass feeling i get is far better then the pain of Lyme.

Im guessing youve been on each other these?
your acne must come back, so these havent really worked for you?

My acne always comes back, I wanted accutane but I use the VA and they don't want to prescribe it.

Also in the pamphlet with Minocycline it said not to go to sleep within an hour of taking it, I found that weird.

@Eazy20 3 years is a while to be on acne medication imho, but it seemed to work for you. But again, everyones skin is different.

@RaZr See ive researched alot about accutane and everyone who ran it around 3-6 months, 40-60 MG ED had no more acne while on or since they finished there dosage in their specific time period. This is also years afterwords of not having ANY pimples, it is definitely the ultimate acne medication minus the sides that not everyone gets.

I am going to push hard to get on accutane, ill know next weekend.
Even though ive only got mild im just going to have to charm the doc lol
I wonder if theres a different generic name for accutane in canada, gunna have to look into that a bit more.

I wasn't on it for the entire 3 years. I came off it a few times and went back on. If I were to geusstimate the entire time I was actually on the medication it would total to be about a year

Im guessing you jumped back on before you started breaking out again?

Yeah, keep in mind this was also back when I was like 15...I came completely off it when I was around 17 or 18 and haven't had a bad breakout since even when on cycle.

Yeah, I can imagine anyone at the age of 15 taking any acne medication thats theres a huge chance of it coming back being in the prime of their acne years lol

Me being 27, if I got on minocycline or accutane for a short period with my mild acne I think I would completely extinct it for the rest of my life.
