I just started taking B5 to help with my acne and I started out with one pill (500mg) a day and then a few days later bumped it up to two pills (1000mg/1gram) a day. I know most people that take this stuff take around 10 500mg pills a day, but will it still be effective for me even though I am only taking a gram a day of it? Any help would be helpful. Thanks!
Also I am not sure if this is in the right spot, it's my first post here.
Apparently you can take L-carnitine to "boost" the effects of B5, so you don't need to take as much. I tried doing that for a bit, but got a couple pimples. They were most likely unrelated, but I've dropped the L-carnitine for now.
I started off taking 1-2 grams of B5 a day, a few weeks ago. Even at that dose it greatly reduced the amount of pimples I gained, and I've been eating chips and cookies like crazy. Oiliness is still there so as of today I've gone up to 6 grams a day. Too soon to tell if the effects are any better though.
So basically... I don't know much. Just sharing my experience thus far.
http://www.drdach.com/Acne_B5.html You can take up to 10 grams a day. I am at 8 grams (16 pills a day). No harmful side effects except for maybe constipation or loose stools.

How long have you been taking them for?
Is it working ? Pros & cons?
How many do you take per time ?
This is my second day on it. I take 16 pills a day, so I space them out at 4 pills x 4 times a day. So far I haven't gotten any new zits but I am so ticked off because I woke up with another cyst this morning on my chin, directly in line with the two i just had a cortisone shot in on wednesday. I think that I am breaking out in cysts so recently because with the holidays i have been consuming more red wine (my family loves red wine) and I drank it on Monday, Tuesday, (woke up Wednesday with two large cyst, got them injected same day) NO wine Wednesday night, things were looking up yesterday, drank red wine last night, woke up with new cyst this morning,.... UGH. I have an appointment to get it shot up tomorrow morning. I think I'll lay off the wine for for awhile and only drinking 'a glass' and not five anymore. I read this article this morning.... http://www.acneskinsite.com/acne-remedies/acne-red-wine-related/
So for now, no new zits, but just one pesky cyst that will be taken care of tomorrow AM.
