Ive currently been on accutane for a little more than a month now. My second month blood work results just came in and the doctor called me and said he needed to do blood work again. He is concerded because my chelesterol levels and some other **** were elevated and something about my patassium. Im going to get my repeat bloodwork done again this upcoming saterday i cannot be taken off this **** accutanes a miracle drug and i need to finish my course. Here is the **** i take everyday Whiteblood, Bcaa's with vitamin c and glutamine, adderall for my add, creatine phosphate. MY diets been ****ty i allready changed that no more egg yolks or bacon. Do i need to lay off the other supps?? anyone else have any problems with this. By the way i really been making progress i gained 6 pounds and dont want my progress to stop. HELP

Does any of the following increase your chelesterol levels

creatine
no2 ( whiteblood )
bcaas (Pro with vitamin c b5 and glutamine)
Muscle Milk

accutane can cause liver damage, thats the primary concern when using it, so by taking all those other supplements while on it isnt a good idea, and accutane isnt a miracle drug, unless you have severe acne, i wouldnt suggest it, take my word for it, its only for extreme cases, its like taking high doses of vitamin A, thats why it drys you right out, since you have already started a course finish it, and leave that **** alone, even if your doctor recommends another cycle, i suggest trying another approach. good luck bro.

Be honest with your doc and follow his/her advice! But other than that, I don't see any of the sups that you are taking affecting your liver in a negative way.

Although Accutane is harsh, it is a miracle drug for those with severe cases of acne. No one can know the pain and embarrassment that acne can cause except those that have experienced it.

I'm assuming that his doc has tried everything else that is available before putting RusBus on this treatment course.

im speaking from first hadn experience, ive been on accutane a few times, i think i did 3 courses, and let me tell you the side effects that come with it are bad, i tried a few things and my doctor put me on it like it was nothing, i agree in severe cases it can work miracles, but in the majority of cases it just isn't worth it, this is a product developed up here in canada, and has been working so far for me, ive been off accutane for a while now, and i was left with constant flushing of the face, also known as rosacea, this soap is proven to treat both acne and rosacea, maybe it will help someone out.

good luck again bro.

Muscle milk has a high fat content right? Drop it.

Anyway, your choles. is high? Start eating the oats. Switch to a lean protein, veggie diet for ahwhile. I assume your ldl was high. Search the board for ways to raise hdl and lower ldl. Alot of the superdrol threads have suggestions for pct which may help you. Red yeast rice would work but it may be tough on the liver. Fish oils cant hurt right now either.

egg yolk and bacon while on accutane... wow

yeah i just started eating lots of oat meal and dropped the muscle milk i think the muscle milk was the cause of it lots of sat fats i was having 2 to 3 shakes a day
and i didnt have really really bad acne but enough on my back wear i dont want to take my shirt off
i thought the side effects would be much worse besides ocasional mood swings and chapped lips its not so bad ive been on it for a little more than a month now and my face is completly clear i used to wear make up when i went out to cover my zits sooo embarrising accutanes really worth it if acne really bothers you and nothing really gets it to go away
