ACCUTANE?

[mikeswift]

Bro, How old are you? I can't believe I'm reading this and waiting to see the post that says you went to a doctor. Bro, I'm not flaming you but I have to be honest and tell you that this isn't very smart. You've put all kinds of foreign substances into your body over the last few months and you're surprised that you're breaking out? You need to get yourself to a dermatologist and stop looking for answers on a board. At this point you should get to a Doctor and get your blood work done, if your acne is a 10 out of 10 then obviously something is severly wrong. The sweating is another sign that something is wrong bro, get to a doc.

INSURANCE

I HAVE A 200.00 DOLLAR CO-PAY AND THEN AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF THE BLOOD WORK. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO THE DERM ABOUT THE NODULAR ACNE BUT THERE GOING TO TELL ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW AND POSSIBLY NEVER GIVE ME A PERSCRIPTION FOR IT. ALSO THE BLOOD WORK FOR THE TEST THROUGHOUT WOULD JUST KILL ME. DO YOU THINK THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE IP ACCUTANE AND THE GENERIC ACCUTANE THEY HAVE BEEN PERSCRIBING?

Without a doubt there is a big difference. And docs don't prescribe a generic because there is not one, at least legally. Roche holds the patent.

I would do the comprehensive wellness test. Then get it looked over by someone who knows what they're looking at.

DERMATOLOGIST

I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 12TH. I CALLED A BUNCH OF PROVIDERS AND DERMS SURE ARE BUSY PEOPLE. ONE LADY TRIED TO SIGN ME UP FOR THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST.....WTF. ANYWAYS I GOT THAT OUT OF THE WAY. I GOT A GUY FOR THE JOB AS HE WOULD MAYBE UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BETTER IF HE ASKS ABOUT STEROIDS. I DON'T THINK THEY CAN PROVIDE OPTIMAL DIAGNOSIS IF YOU WITHHOLD INFORMATION FROM THEM. BESIDES IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S GOING TO SAY ANYTHING DUE TO THE LAWS OF PATIENTS INFO. JUST A LITTLE FIRE IS ALL I NEEDED FROM YOU GUYS AND I THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN. BY THE WAY I'M 23 YEARS OLD.

I'm so glad you are going to the doc bro, you're doing the right thing and I'm sure they will take care of you. Good luck and let us know how it goes bro.

(I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE ALA AND MILK THISTLE WITH EACH DOSE OF ACCUTANE. MY QUESTION IS THE MILK THISTLE AND ALA CLEANING OUT THE ACCUTANE AS I TAKE IT SO THAT I'M NOT GETTING EVERYTHING OUT OF THE ACCUTANE? SHOULD I TAKE THE MILK THISTLE AND ALPHA LIPOIC ACID AT DIFFERENT TIMES THAN THE ACCUTANE? THIS MIGHT SOUND WEIRD BUT, HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED SWEAT AROUND THE NECK 24/7 IT SUCKS AT NIGHT I HAVE TO ROTATE THE PILLOW BECAUSE IT GETS REALY WET. JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A COMMON SIDE EFFECT?) this is not a listed side effect by the manf. so i would look at other things. have your lab work done. if your liver is not functioning right it could be affecting other things to cause this.

GENERIC ACCUTANE

FYI:

BACK IN 1993 THE FDA APPROVED GENERIC ACCUTANE IN THE FORM OF Amnesteem, Claravis, Sotret ALL CONTAINING THE ACTIVE INGREDIENT ISOTRENTINOIN. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU GUYS.

UPDATE

I JUST WANTED TO TELL EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THIS THREAD THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT AS MY ACNE HAS ACTUALLY COME DOWN A LOT BUT STILL VERY PAINFULL. SEEMS THE ACCUTANE IS FULL BORE RIGHT NOW AS THE SIDE EFFECTS HAVE COME ON STRONG. I CANT WEAR MY CONTACTS ANYMORE, PALMS ARE PEALING AND I HAVE RASH LIKE SUNBURNS ALL OVER MY BODY, MY IS SKIN SO DRY IT IS ALBINO WHITE. I USE LOTION BUT IT CANT KEEP UP WITH IT. STILL GOING TO THE DOCTOR ON THE 12TH JUST IN CASE. THANKS GUYS

GOOD NEWS

I WENT TO THE DOCTOR AND HE GAVE ME A SCRIPT FOR GENERIC ACCUTANE. THE GOOD NEWS IS HE LOOKED AT MY BACK AND SAID THAT THE PIGMENT WHICH LOOKS SCARD WILL GO AWAY AND I'M NOT SCARD FOR LIFE BY NO MEANS. WE STARTED OUT WITH 80MG A DAY AND SAID WE WILL GO UP IF I DO NOT FEEL DRY ENOUGH. HE ALSO LOOKED AT MY LIPIDS AND SAID THEY WERE ELEVATED BUT NOT TO HIGH AT ALL AS I WAS TAKING 160MG OF IP ACCUTANE. HE SAID THAT IS THE HIGHEST DOSE HE HAS EVER HEARD OF. I HAVE TO HAVE A VERY HEATHY LIVER TO SCORE WHAT I DID WITH 160MG OF BLACK MARKET ACCUTANE.


P.S. EVERY WOMAN IN THERE WAS AT LEAST AN "8" ALL WOMAN NOT ONE MAN EXCEPT THE DOC. LOOKING FORWARD TO MY MONTHLY VISIT.

Just curious, is one of the side effects of accutane that you type all in CAPS?
Holy fuck thats annoying.
I was gonna stop reading after I saw his second post was ALL IN CAPS TOO.
However, this is a topic I am very seriously studying right now.

And ya, after all of the research I have done I have never seen 160mg before.
Crazy boy.

I'm glad you have sought out profesional help.
