Going to the Doc...

[sinkorswim]

   Tomorrow i have an appointment with the dermatologist in hopes that he perscribes me accutane. after 2 years of using antibiotics, nothing has changed, i still have severe acne. I know that there is a blood test required to get it perscribed, and im on week 3 of my cycle.  Will this affect the results of the blood test? should i tell him im on a cycle? will 3 weeks of test-e be enough to fuck up my blood so that he will know im on steroids?  discuss..

It may make your blood thicker but hes not testing for that I would definetly not tell him your on gear but if the acnes that bad maybe you shouldn't run gear anymore

I've never heard for a doctor, especially in US who would give prescription for Accutane!

I believe lots of people get accutane prescribed. I believe my brother n law was on it in high school!

[sinkorswim]

no im not scared, accutane makes ur bad cholesterol go up along with steroids. if he knows im on AAS he wont perscribe accutane. duhh.

Yeah, its prescribed in the US.


Does anyone else see the humor in this thread?  The guy has severe acne, is taking anabolic steroids (which can make acne worse), but is worried about telling the doctor he's on steroids because the steroids will affect his cholesterol?  I'll bet if he told the doctor he was juicing (and the doctor was worth a shit), the doctor would not worry at all about the cholesterol (unless it was significantly high) but would refuse accutane until he was off the juice because of the effects of steroids on the skin and associated development of acne while taking them.

i not scared to tell him, im worried that he might not perscribe it if he knows i am on. which he happend to do today

I don't personally have a problem with acne, but I know a lot of guys that have used accutane because of hormone induced acne! Most people are not getting it through prescription. Some are also using Roaccutan.

Most cases i would be honest with my doc to get the best answer from her and the right medication prescribed, but in this case if you tell your doc that your on AAS chances are they'll just tell you to lay off it and your acne might go away.  Sometimes you gotta play different angles to get what you want/need.

Depends on the Doc. Do NOT ever tell one steroids, "make you feel good"! That constitutes addiction in
their world.

yes i almost got it through a research website, but i thought it might be best if i get the real thing.

[wes mantooth]

i think acne has to be pretty fucking bad to use accutane.....hormone induced or not. i would be more worried about using that than abombs!!

get ready for a fucked up face and some lips that look like bacon with accutane. that shit will dry you up quicker than a brawny paper towel.

I've seen a few guys that look like they got hit w/ a load of   # 4 Buck Shot..., and it infected!!
Stuff that is WAY beyond Oxy or Retin-A creme or basic hygiene issues.

THese guys tend to report that a Acutane treatment cures it permanently.
The side effects are reported to be nasty, and this stuff needs be kept away from women I seem to recall.
It's a heavy hitter that needs research and carefull consideration before use.
Many foreign Pharmacies carry it.
