Trap 0 Share Posted June 7, 2006 from all that i have read, an initial breakout is normal in the first few weeks of taking b5. apparently its something to do with forcing the crap out of your skin and to the surface.i just started taking 3g/day today so im hoping(actually im praying) that i dont get a big initial breakout as i start work monday.

playground_love 0 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 the thing is, normally i would expect an initial breakout, it's just that my skin looks EXACTLY like it did before i went on minocycline. maybe b5 just isn't working?AHHHHHHHHHHH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Miss 2 Share Posted June 8, 2006 the thing is, normally i would expect an initial breakout, it's just that my skin looks EXACTLY like it did before i went on minocycline. maybe b5 just isn't working? AHHHHHHHHHHH! Please don't give in at this early stage. It can take up until around 4 months before the initial breakout calms down on B5, so you really have to be patient. Stick with it, you will be glad you did! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
