Hey folks, is there any gear that you can take while on accutane? or just lay off of it for the duration?

the safest way is to be clean.
No beer, no pills.
Its worth the trouble. -
Do not take accutane while on cycle!. I did it, it was a big mistake. Try some minocycline instead. 200mg ed should keep you nice and clear.Comment

why was it a big mistake?Comment

it dries out everything including your joints, your time in the gym will suck. Plus its quite harsh on the liver so I wouldnt want to run anything else along side it.Comment

Accutane is very toxic. I would avoid it at all costs. If it turns out nothing else works, then consider Accutane. IF you do decide to use it and cycle as well, I definitely wouldn't recommend the use of orals. I know there are people who do, but I still wouldn't recommend it.Originally posted by peal

Accutane made my skin so so much worse. I got huge cycsts under the skin all over my back and chest, they erupted and left holes which have turned to scars. It's about 1.5 years since my episode and I still have some pretty bad marks left.
Minocycline is a sript. Its an antibiotic that kills infection under the skin. It has been working for me, I reccomend it.Comment

accutane it works well for last resort dep scaring systoc acne.
Use in smallest possible dosage that works 40mg a day for a month skin and lips will dry skin take on new drier texture.
They usually up it to 60mg for another 2 weeks or month and than up to 80mg after about 3 months.
I did last winter 60mg for a month and 80 mg next month 8 weeks is all I had it worked wonderful wish I could have took longer my acne never came back bad since.
One thing I must warm ya is if you have aches or injuries it make may em worse tends to dry out lubricating synyovial fluids as well like winy does and caused me some pain in shoulders.
I did it off cycle since I never had blood test.
---------
Docs start some at 20 for a wk, then 40, 60, and getting ready to hit 80 next week. They like to keep you at target dose for about 20wks.
lowest effictive dose is best IMO
start 20mg when body adapts a few weeks 40mg's (you can tell) up it 20mg each time I got up to 80mg.Comment

I didn't have terrible acne but was put on a low dosage of 20mg a day for 7 months. I ran one whole cycle and got 4 weeks into a 15week cycle at the end of my accutane treatment.
I had all of two or three zits the entire cycle and so far, i've been off for 5 weeks and only VERY mild acne on my shoulders, but far from anythign that's really noticeable or stressful.
I wouldn't recommend anyone doing this but I did.
1st cycle was Cyp and EQ for 12 weeks and the first 4 weeks of my cycle that I was on towards the end of my accutane treatment.. I was on Var 30mg ED, Prop 100mg EOD, and Test-E 500mg / wk.
No problems as far I know...Comment

No those are some of the side effects with Accutane.Originally posted by BuddyBoy

Aside from dry nose, eyes, and mouth/lips, the only other side effect I had was blurred long range vision @ night, WHICH I still have 5 months later. I think however, it was coincidence, both parents and all my aunts/uncles/grandparents wear glasses...
Never had any suicidal thoughts, dry joints, or anythign else.Comment
