This ACNE is pissing me OFF!!!

[Mudge]

80mg of 'tane is pretty hefty, it'll hit the liver hard and affect cholesterol both. I did pretty well skating on 40mg a day, it'll take a week or two to really show results, but going high dose will possibly induce serious sides. I had dry eyes, lips, skin in general- and other spots dry out and bleed that you never even want to think about, ahem... especially on bulking cycles if you get my drift.

So don't get all crazy on it, especially if you had already been doing orals, just be patient. It'll make you more sensitive to UV so don't get too nuts on tanning either, be easy and just sit it out a little while on the tane.

I too was once beyond the help of B5 (was doing like 12g a day), and accutane didn't dissapoint. Did it once years ago and never had to use it again (I don't sweat as much as I used to).

Was your letro liquid? both my a-dex and letro are from a board sponsor and there might be something in them that is causing this reaction for us?? not accusing just a idea.

Yeah bro, mine was liquid. I'm sure it was the same sponsor. I don't know if it's the actual company.. I think it has more to do with the hormonal imbalance? I need to figure it out whatever it is!

Upon doing some more research, I've read that with low estrogen in my body due to Arimidex now, which I dose at .5mg per day, my body creates more DHT I think it was, it will cause bad acne.

Anyways, I'm wondering if any of you would happen to know if I went ahead and did .25mg a day instead, if my estrogen would be slightly higher and maybe my acne sides wouldn't be quite so bad?

Well like I stated, My acne cleared up some when I quit the A dex after 4-7 days. I then started it up again at a higher dose, as this was suggested, and bam... acne came back in like 4 days. Now I switched to the Letro.
So I think lowering it will help. Switching compounds may be better though.It has helped me some.

maybe aromasin or something. that is what I am going to try next.

It might be something in the liquid we are allergic to. A long shot I know but this is extreme acne, and these compounds where suppose to help with the acne.

.25 eod might be best at 500 mg test per week I'm on that test dose and have no issues a 1/4 of Arimidex eod.

But have you or anyone else had the bad acne from to much A- dex or Letro etc. ?

I have the same issues and it is really bad. Thanks for all the help guys!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna lower myself to .25mg ed and see how that treats me.

I guess I'll switch up AI's if it doesn't help at all. I have letro.. but I didn't have acne at all until I took 5 doses of Letro then switched to Adex.

I only have 2 more weeks of my cycle then I start pct.. well, I take my 2 weeks off then start.

Damn dude, that is ALOT of letro to be taking.

What kind of sides have you experienced? What is your acne currently like as well?

I'm just curious how it's working for you.

I was told it is suppose to help the acne. other then pissing a lot no sides. But like I stated these AI's I think cause acne with me. I have been told that is not true and to up the dose (to current amount)
I have been at 2.5mg of the letro for only 4 days. Acne is as described in your first post. horrbile. lots of blackheads, lots of small bumps. And giant boil like mirror splattering zits. shoulders are the worse. Back of the ears are the most troublesome as you cant hide those.

edit, sex drive has been reduced.
I am just thankful for your post and the help/hope getting this acne under control

 

[AnabolicLove]

Yeah dude, this shit isn't fun.. I've been scrubbing my shoulders with salt in the shower. You heard right, salt. It seems to dry my skin out enough to where the acne is starting to at least not be getting worse. It doesn't seem so nasty and oily, or really even as red.

People say vitamin B5 helps alot, but I found every B vitamin but 5 in the store earlier so I don't know.

Also, sun exposure is supposed to help. I just need to get these AI's figured out, and the damn correct doses! I'm gonna start at .25mg tomorrow with my Adex.

sent you a pm, I will try the salt as well.
I guess I need to go tanning as there is no sun in Western Washington.

I see a differnce between 4-6 days on A-dex so keep looking
