Low dose accutane

[palumbus1217]

Would it be beneficial at all to run a low dose of accutane while cycling..for example 20mg throughout the cycle and pct? I dont expect it to clear up or anything but just prevent furthur breakouts possibly. Being prone to acne sucks. My brother has it terribly on his face. I on the other hand get it on back and shoulders. Would the AAS cancel out the efect of the accutane? Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated. Thanks.

for me, low dose is extremely effective. 20 mg a day completely cleared all of it.

Really? Did you run into any sides that were too bad while cycling ?

some dry skin, minimal

Low dose works very well for most.

Can you go outside and tan on that low of a dose?

James I was wondering the same thing I remember reading something on accutane and how you should avoid sunlight but wasn't sure if it was dose dependent

Yes

I used accutane under Dr prescription while on a cycle and it was HORRIBLE.
I would not ever recommend this to anyone.
It has definitely permanently damaged my Cholesterol and most significantly my Triglyceride counts. It has been around 5 years now and my cholesterol is still jacked.
Before this I cycled a few times and always monitored my blood levels and my cholesterol was normal to even sub normal. This included one cycle where Iran between 50 and 100mg oral winny for 8 weeks.
Now its been high ever since and was AMAZINGLY high while on it.
Plus the stuff hurts your liver way worse than oral juice. I had protein levels over 30mg while using this stuff. Ya MG not deca or micro etc I mean MG.

IDK since then I have found that B vities, proviron and a good anti -e work best. Proviron was a god send once I finally decided to try it. (I put it off for its expense)
I hardly break out at all now.

Just my 2 cents but if you aren't a pro looking for a little extra photo factor I wouldn't risk it. even getting paid I would have to balance it and weigh it to see if I thought it was worth it.

With all do respect wardog..what were your doses your doctor prescribed you to take. I know people react differently to different drugs and/or the doses they take.

He started me at 60mg (generic 20mg pills) then we moved to the real deal non generic (40 mgpills ) at 80mg but I was still broke out pretty bad after 3 or 4 weeks.{ I think it was 3}He upped me to 120 and I stayed there for about 5 months.I know this is a long time to be at 120 but the bad results were happening after 2 weeks at most. He kept saying Oh everything will be normal as soon as you stop. BULLSHIT. He even wanted me to stay on longer and I finally told him it was enough. I have since looked into the drug which is based off of vitmain A and it is very detrimental. Low dose will only tax your body pretty hard for less results. I know lots of guys will say well your dose was SO HIGH lol. Trust me the bad things start to happen fast at low doses.. If you are not getting blood work done you wont know and you will think ah its ok. I'm sure the prolonged high dose was bad in retrospect and I am just as sure that low dose is is also very bad.

Something else that you can try is Doxycycline. I used Accutane with decent results on and off for a few years but it would never fully clear my skin up. I broke out bad my last cycle and the Accutane wasn't doing anything, so I decided to give doxy a try. Within 3 days more than 50% was gone and was completely clear in less than 2 weeks. I took 100mg day and only took it til I was clear.

Problem with doxy is your body builds a resistance to it very quickly, and then it never works as well again.

You can't compare 20mg accutance per day IMO to 60 or 80mg per day-the sides are exponential with an increase in dose. But 20mg per day works very well.
Just be careful with orals and accutane-your liver is going to take a beating, rather stick to injectables or methylated orals such as proviron.

Did the trick

Been using 20mg ed and it's been good so far. Trick is to start right before or with first jab. Again it's worked so far but have yet to use it when taking more than 2 meds.
