Acne QUestion

TweetHello i was wondering what people thought of using these products.

Dicloxacillin
or
Bactrim

What are the side effects short and long. Are they as bad as accutane?? and is it safe to use them during a cycle? thanks in advance.

TweetNot as bad on the liver as accutane.
Do you mean Dioxycycline? If you do . . .that's good stuff over an extended period. Minocycline is pretty good too. Bactrim is def good stuff for killing bacteria . . .whatever antibiotic you take . . .you want to be sure and restore the "good" bacteria that gets destroyed along with the bad. Get a probiotic and some acidophilius to hit after the scipt is over. Trust me. . . you'll need it even if you don't feel it.
Oh yeah . . .one more thing . . .try to get a doc to script ya some cleocin in a liquid. Rub it on twice a day and it will speed the process up for ya!
Good luck and find someone to pop the rascals while your at it! :0

TweetMinocin (Minocycline) works great for me also, usually you get get a script for up to a year since you take a pill/day. Check with your doc, but it works great for me along with anti-bacterial sope.

Tweetminocycline, doxycycline I tried em both they worked good at 100mg per day.

Yes the antibiotics, especially this one, works pretty well.

The problem is what goes on inside. They can royally fuck up the balance of beneficial flora in the gut (they kill off many of the "good" bacteria that populate the intestines, eg, acidophilus, bifidobacter, etc.) This can lead to overgrowth of potentially pathogenic bacteria as well as yeast like Candida sp, with subclinical or overt disease states: malabsorption, "leaky gut", irritable bowel syndrome, food allergies, and more.
Antibiotics are not benign, take care w/ their use.


I had done 6 to 8 weeks of accutane last winter been 95% acne free.

Excellent post DG! You really know what your talking about.
Another potential side from too many anti's without replenishing is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This can seriously ruin your month! Once you are affected this way . . .you simply can get overrun with numerous issues. Def take DG's words to heart and research a little bioflavinoids and probiotics to keep your immune system in a ready state.

I have never taken accutane but am contemplating . . .however, I am wondering how long after d-bol should I wait before taking it? Anyone?

TweetI would take accutane when not hitting gym hard or offcycle.
Tends to dry joints out and skin a bit when on and cause temp aches and pains when lifted long as me.
