graffsurgeon Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 nah because doctors are fucking stupid and they'll throw you on some crack/prozac mix that happens to peel your skin off in the process so therefore its good for acne treatment..

Ferris Bueller Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 i had a mild case of acne a couple years ago..when i was about 14...and i tried out accutane because all the bullshit creams my dermatologist was giving me sucked ass.. it was cool, shit actually worked, thankfully i didnt get liver cancer or anything..it's cool...the only thing that sucks about it is that you need to get blood drawn every two weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swif1 Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 two weeks? damn! i had to give blood every 3 months they were giving me the 40mg pills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectorTVA Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 i had a pretty severe case of acne...i tried retin-a, but that didnt work...the doc told me of acutane, and i hit the shit up...i took it for 3 months....had to give blood every 2 weeks to make sure i didnt develop any possible liver damage as a side effect....my skin dried out...i had to use tons of chapstick, ...and my nose bled....alot...in fact i ended up having to put vaseline in my nose to curve the bleeding a little....and yes. vaseline in the nose is nasty as all get out....as annoying as is was to be dried up, it pretty much cured my acne....expensive drug too....

TOY Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 i had 2 friends on it. i should have been one it too but my dr. wouldnt give it to me cuz of the side effects. im on minocycline and use triaz at the moment. pretty much cleared up-lil blemish once in a while. now i just need something to take the scars off my face but am black and asian-2 worst skin types to do abrasion or anything on.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I dont know it but it sounds like some heavy medication. Dont forget that drug run a long time in your organisation and may cause problems thats may appear sometime later. ...I bet your farts smell like shit 10 times than they used to when you're on that shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swif1 Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 Originally posted by Tesseract ...I bet your farts smell like shit 10 times than they used to when you're on that shit HAHA yo crunch, i dont know if you know or if your doctor told you or not, but accutana is vitamin A, so dont take any vitamin supplements, and uhh...oh yeah, i remember now...accutane first pushes all that dirt and shit out ...making your acne a little worser, after that, it will slowly disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Claus Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 accutane cures ACNE. acne does not just go away with time. skin breakouts go away. but acne is something that sticks w/ people for the majority of their lives. accutane works by forcing toxins out of yr body, so like swif said, it makes yr acne a little worse at first, but after that its goes down drammatically. unfourtanately for me i went on it when i was too young and the doctor kept fucking up my blood tests, so he took me off it, put me on again, took me off blah blah and eventually the shit worked, but wasnt very permanent, although now(2 years later) my acne has gone down a lot. all in all, like all medicines, it works for some, doesnt work for others.

Ms.Bombastic Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Watch that shit ...it'll burn your insides out. One of my girls used it and it worked but she got some blood poisoning shit...She was in the hospital for a grip. Don't take meds for vanitys' sake. YOu'll grow out of the shit.

Secs Oner Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i used it for about 2 years.. and it worked like a charm. I also never had one blood test.. before, during or after the treatment.... i look back and think how stupid that was of my doctor... Maybe i should sue her. I eventually stopped taking it because i couldnt take the year round chapped lips... it got to be too much. And needless to say, my acne came back.

MrChupacabra Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 Took it awhile back, cleared up, then it came back, i was part of the 10% it doesn't clear....just finished the second dose, and its looking good right now. Use lots of lotion and chapstick, my skin isn't too dry anymore, but i still go through a tube of chapstick in about two, three weeks, and i can't go anywhere without chapstick. Side affects didn't make me depressed or anything, thats a really small percent, and whenever you see the doctor they ask you tons of questions to make sure your not depressed or some shit. I recommend it personally, but it isn't cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Morris Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i just finished up a 6 month treatment and my skin has improved dramatically...I look fly now. I made myself stop taking it because my face is cleared up and I just have to give it a few months for the staining from the acne to go away. It dired my face out REALLY bad though...since now its winter and the air is much drier my face started to crack to the point that it would expose raw skin and it would bleed a little..but other than its good stuff..just buy alot of blistex.

suburbian bum Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i use this cream called, wait, umm i forgot what its called, But it doesnt have much side effects at all, and it works pretty well, not the best but its clears shit up good, i sometimes get a pimple here and there, but nothing major.

Ferris Bueller Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 i was on mad shit for like 3 years atleast...no improvement..the accutane showed most improvement, but once i was off it, it came back.. the only thing i faced with accutane was just a lil dried skin my shit seems to be dying down..looks like it's going away slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sear Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 This is weird i hadnt heard any of this shit about it causing depression or anything until now. And i acctually have a full package of it in my cuboard thats been there for over a year, i never bothered taking it because it looked like it had too many side effects. My doctor never mentioned anything about that whole having blood tests every two weeks though. Either way im glad i didnt take, it sounds like it really messes you up. My doctor just gave me some vitamin A cream, stuff seems to work, and i havent seen any side effects... so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
