Hey guys, I did a cycle 8 yrs ago and I ended up breaking out from it about halfway thru, with it worsening a little when I was done.. It was nothing THAT bad, but something I didn't wanna deal with.. I don't remember the exact specifics of the cycle, but the doses were kinda high.. It was probably 800mg/wk test, 500mg/wk deca, and 30mg/day dbol the 1st month..

Anyways since then my face has cleared up, and I use retin-a. My face is nice and smooth and I'd like to keep it that way.. But I wanna do a cycle this summer.. It's not gonna be as big as that last 1 - I'm thinking 400mg/wk test and 300mg/wk deca - no dbol this time.. Now I wanna make sure I don't break out - but I dunno if the retin-a alone is gonna keep me clear..

So I'm looking at a couple things - doxycycline and bactrim pills.. Would something like this be beneficial to me, if I'm somewhat prone to break out? I guess I could go all out and try and get some accutane, but that's gonna cost a few bucks that I'd rather not spend.. I've heard a low 15-20mg dosage would be enough to prevent anything.. But do you think either of those 2 antibiotic pills would help at all?
 
ive had problem breaking out before and not even from roids, but ive heard of people using bath salts in there baths. Make sure you keep your estrogen in check as well when your estrogen is too high it stops the production of a certain viatmin that keeps your skin clear. Do a search i know some people like different shampoo's and bars soaps and whatnot to help with acne.

...just type in acne in the search function 3 pages somes up!

What would a good nolva dosage be during the cycle to keep the estrogen in check? I know I'm not gonna have any gyno worries, as I did a cycle before twice as big before w/ no problems. But just to be on the safe side.. 10mg nolva ED? EOD? 2x/wk?
 
easy solution: visit a local doc once the acne starts and ask for doxycyline or minocycline (antibiotic) it will clear it right up and it's very cheap.

Minocyline 50mg capsules, only 1 capsule a day.
Doxycycline 100mg capsules, only 1 capsule every other day.

either will work fine
 
Well I can order the doxycycline, so I was just gonna take it right at the start of the cycle, and continue to use the retin-a.. You think I should take it EOD tho, and not ED?

I'm also reading so much conflicting info on PCT. My cycle as I said isn't gonna be anything big - 400mg/wk test, and prob 300mg/wk deca.. Now I planned on taking hcg twice a wk at 250iu starting on the 3rd wk and doing it till the end of the cycle, to try and prevent shutdown..

But for PCT I then see people that say nolva alone is the way to go - and then others that say that's a bad idea and to take clomid.. If I take the hcg during the cycle, will nolva alone be enough for pct? And would it be worth it to take a small dose like 10mg EOD during the cycle to keep estrogen in check? Gyno isn't gonna be an issue, but I just wanna know what's best to do.
 
If you are consistently using retin-a now you're face will be able to handle the excess oil that's produced from test and deca. breakouts should be minimal if any

Wow that would be great. I think I will take a modest dose of the doxy too tho, just as an added precaution since it's cheap.

Yes. EOD is enough for Doxy 100mg. Neither antibiotic needs to be taken in high dosage b/c of the type of infection you are trying to prevent. It would be a differenct story if you had severe acne already. I prefer Minocycline 50mg, 1 capsule a day, but yes, Doxy 100mg, 1 capsule EOD will work also. Either way, start it Day 1 of your cycle and you'll be pleased.

One other note, stay away from dairy for 2 hours before and after you take it. Dairy limits it's effectiveness. I only bring this up b/c a lot of weightlifter like to drink milk/protein shakes. At these dosages, your physician will tell you that you can take the antibiotic for a few months (reasonable cycle length) without any problem.
