Went to the doc today for Accutane

[BloodyBillAnderson]

I have always had back acne since puberty (43 now) I added some tren to a test cycle a couple months back and developed acne on my chest. Antibiotics and topical stuff is not working. I am starting tren again in a few weeks (i blast and cruse) so I thought I would get some Accutane. This is some heavy shit, monthly blood tests, special ID card, $1.000.00 a month. has any one had bad reactions to this stuff? I told my doc I am on HRT and I guess that does not matter. any input would be welcome.

not sure i'd take accutane with steroids accutane is the real deal its the last resort for acne and has some pretty bad side effects...how many milligrams did the doctor perscribe you?

[BloodyBillAnderson]

dont know yet, going for blood work in the morning

[kidrock29520]

yea if he perscribes anything more than 10 milligrams i'd chill with everything else for a while that stuff is pure hell on your liver and your acne will definitley get worse before it gets better but it works man if you feel like you have bad acne in about 3 months you'll be clear even though they will probably put you on for 6 months

[kidrock29520]

also when you get that perscription buy it from a canadian pharmacy and you'll save yourself a shitload of money

[BloodyBillAnderson]

test, tren or anti-e's don't affect the liver so I wouldn't think it would mater.

[kidrock29520]

its up to you man they'll give you that folder to read and if you think any of the side effects won't effect your cycle then go for it

[BloodyBillAnderson]

I just finished reading it, if I get any of the real bad sides it will affect my continued existence. hopefully it will be just dry skin and sun sensitivity. Thanks bro

I wouldn't even bother getting accutane from a doctor in the US. It's such an unbelievable hassle with the "iPledge" program, or whatever. I just ordered it online and will monitor my liver values. Was so much cheaper and easier.

[fb4life]

I used to use minocycline (sp?) when mine got bad. alot less harsh.

[BloodyBillAnderson]

I was using solodyn (antibiotic) at $500 a month, insurance covered it. It worked great until I started tren.

Tren is potent stuff - even bodybuilding steroid guru - David Palumbo - will tell you Tren is great but does carry some sides with it. Unlike injectible test, tren can be a bit more taxing on both the liver and kidneys. I would not run tren with accutane. If you absolutely insist on running accutane with gear - I would use just some test. I personally would not do this as it seems counter productive. I like to run test fairly high for a nice stretch. At the dosages I take I would be concerned if I didn't get a little acne, and would suspect my gear has been watered down! I guess what I'm saying is why take a last resort acne medication with something that is known to cause acne. And if that contradictory relationship is ok with you why make things even worse by running your liver through the ringer by taking, of all things - tren? The only thing worse than taking tren with accutane would be take anadrol. Good luck.

yea you can order it from alot of sites that sell gear for a steal about 70 dollars per 30 pills or you can get the generic for 25

For some of us acne is the one major side effect that comes with cycling steroids, and it can be so bad that you can't take your shirt off in public, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of bodybuilding. For me, accutane is the only thing that works, period. Antibiotics, topicals, showering 4x per day, none of that does shit. I will probably not ever use steroids again without a low dose of accutane to go with it. If that means I can't use strong orals or tren, fine.

[honda450]

This makes me not want to even start running Test...
scared now..
I get some and alot of the times I won't take my shirt off even if theres something small goin on.. need to be tanned right up and theres no tanning bed within 2 hours of where I live.. hahhhh

if you use accutane right the first time you'd never get bad acne again

That's not true for everyone. Many people have done multiple courses of accutane prescribed & monitored by dermatologists.

1 they weren't using the right dose
2 they didn't have cystic acne
3 they didn't use it for long enough

i have a bunch of friends as well as myself that have been on it and i'll tell you for a fact that it eliminates cystic acne.....if you still get little whiteheads or blackheads (which i don't consider real acne) its because of your hygiene not your hormones

[BloodyBillAnderson]

I have been reading for 2 hours, different reports about the liver toxicity of tren and have found about an equal number of results yes and no. So there is no real agreement on this issue. a test done on sheep in the UK noted no affect on subject livers,

British Journal of Nutrition (1983), 50, 225-234

another author claims it is the excess of BA in tren preparations that caused liver problems in body builders.

I am tending to lean toward the no liver damage side. Still....????
