[bomfire]

Not trying to hijack tread...Just started my 3rd month....week 10

[longfellowdeeds]

2 more weeks to go for me until im done, just 19 pills left!

skin is dry as bone and if u put lotion it gets sticky so life is sorta miserable. mixed with hot weather = uncomfortable as hell sometimes

chin is so dry if you take a hand and feel it, it will leave flakes lol

looking forward to finishing so my skin can start producing oil again

Starting tomorrow myself gotta get rid of that face, chest n back acne..

Any negative impacts on gains and lifting in general?

[YesMad101]

Accutane made my face extremely red. Imagine what its like when you get embarrassed and your face goes red. I was like this for the majority of the day. Plus if I got embarrassed my face would remain pulsating with blood for like 30min. Also greatly enlarged my pores.


One month off accutane. Worth going through these side effects IMO. Cleared my face right up.

May slightly dry out your joints.

How's your red face now? I've got the same problem, but not all the time.

As far as lifting, I have backed off on lifting heavy because I was starting to get injured from dry joints

It's like puffy nipples, miscers getting self-conscious and always pinching/taping them but in reality no one IRL gives a shiit. But they insist on getting surgery.

Same with acne that looks like OPs, no one will even notice it. Oh well

[witblitz550]

GJ OP. That stuff I must say helps a lot with self confidence

My face looked way worse. 2x 6 month cycles on oratane (I think). First cycle 120mg/day, second 40mg/day. Some acne came back after a year, like one or two red pimples a week. I let time heal that.

Hated what the stuff did to my blood. Nose bleeds, cuts never wanted to stop bleeding. Lips were also always cracked (If my mom was pissed with me she would make curry, ****). My cycles were in winter. Summer would have ****ed me up with the >40 C weather.

Absolutely LOL @ the people on this forum that vehemently warn against Accutane yet say that tech isn't as bad as doctors tell you. Just lol.

Took Accutane and fine crew. Brb bishes poured in after I got on it. The lawsuits against Accutane are because it was a lot stronger back in the 70's- so people still associate that with it, and want to sue for $$$. Accutane still has a negative association even though the current Accutane is a lot different. Everyone wants to sue someone for some money. Do your research on statistics brahs- side effects from Accutane are very rare.

On my 2nd month of Accutane.

Tried Minocycline twice and while it worked after 2 months, 2 weeks off the drug and my acne came right back. I finally said "faurk it" and went on dat accutane. On my 2nd month and my face has been fairly decent outside a couple of spots. Got 5 months to go until I'm off. My acne isn't/wasted bad, just wouldn't go away.

lol @ people getting butthurt over Accutane. I'd feel bad for you, but odds are you did the treatment wrong (ie. not go get your blood work done every month, etc.)

[MNBrah]

acne is very similar to what you had, and nothing has fixed it...literally.

Took accutane once when I was 17/18 and it went awy completely, looked like I never had a breakout in my life.

Came back when I was stationed in Japan, now back on it after 2 years of being here at 21 years old.

1 month in staying positive

Edit: took 100mg a day for 6 months first time, 80mg a day this time.

First experience my face was SUPER dry for the first couple months along with super chapped lips. Dry skin turned into uncontrollable flushing in my face it was ridiculous. Lips stayed chapped for the next 2 years from this. Only chapped lips and dry skin so far, nothing too crazy.

You look like a combination of Fernando Torres and a one direction member

Srsly though I took accutane when I was 19. I used to have quite a bit of it and I got a few of those really deep painful cyst like ones. I never get any of those anymore and overall acne hugely diminished since using it. On the other hand my skin is permanently more dry than it was pre accutane.

I've still been getting some acne after using it though tbh, never completely gone away. How well it works and what sides you get will be a lot down to genetics but I'm sure it will majorlyhelp anyone who has problems. I started using benzyl peroxide a couple of weeks ago and so far that seems to have deal with the rest though.
