You might want to read this recent thread, it's a little more about body building but the info is basically the same regardless of what activity you participate in.  

popcorn is greasy and i beilve its high in fat

There are many more drugs than two approved for acne.

Minimum time between courses is 2 months.

My first course lasted for nine months at a much higher dosage for my weight. Worked good, stayed clear for about 10 years before it started to come back. At that dosage i think a nine month course ...

The small bump you describe is a whitehead.

If it was open to the air, the top layer would oxidize and form a blackhead.

My acne recurred after my first course about 15 years ago, about 10 years after that course was over. The acne you describe is a type of whitehead (most people call their pustules "whiteheads", but ...

its mostly around my chin/a tiny bit on my jawline, and basically on the lower half of my face. --does this mean it's hormonal?-- That is the classic presentation of hormonal acne, and Yasmin is the...

Sometimes they never come back. Sometimes they do. Using a topical retinoid after treatment is the best insurance against their recurrance, and retinoids have other positive effects on the skin like...

I have read a lot of cases where people have taken accutane and then taken it again 10, 20 years down the line. It seems like if the person never took accutane they would have gradually outgrown the a...

Yep, my first course was during the 80s. It cleared me up for more than a decade and i just recently finished a second course and am again clear.   The only side effects that persisted from my f...

Not forever. It usually take six months for that particular side effect to normalize.

Pick up an over the counter hydrocortisone cream at the pharmacy. Apply it to the ezcema a couple times a day until it seems like normal skin (not more than a week). From then on, moisturize well wi...

No, it hasn't been studied because it's so rare that if it really does happen it does so at a rate so infrequent that it's never shown up in clinical trials. The only indications that it occurs at al...

I was hesitant as well, but in my research of the company Cipla, I found that it is a very reputable company with world wide respect as a manufacturer of quality generics. It has several approved in t...

She also told me that if I get a girl pregnant that there could be birth defects. There are no known cases of birth defects caused when the father was on Accutane. Isotretinoin birth defects are c...

I personally wouldn't take Cipla - it's not approved in the US which means it's not complying with FDA oversight in some way. I'd stick with the main generics - Amnesteem, Claravis, Sotret, or the Ro...

Stunted growth isn't even listed as a side-effect, nor could I even see a connection. It stops your sebacious glands from making oil, people...That's it. I have no idea how you could even begin to th...

My first course was on Roche brand Accutane - there were no generics at the time. My more recent course was on the generic Claravis. I saw no difference in effectiveness.

It's just a time release version of minocycline, i wouldn't get too excited.

Yes, that happened to me too, both courses. Seemed to go back to normal a month or two after the course was over.

Keep in mind that most commercial "saline" solutions have a lot more than just salt in them. There are usually additives such as the stuff that dissolves proteins, maybe some preservatives, etc which...

There are no formal studies on this particular phenomenon, just some rare anecdotal reports of premature growth plate closure. I took it for the first time at 15 or so but i had already reached my fu...

I've taken it twice and only got the minor uncomfortable side effects. The first time i got a nice long remission before it came back, and it's in remission again now from my second course although i...
