LOL,   I figured my new name would be easier to go by. Anyways I notice that my headaches if any are quite mild now so that a good thing.

For now I really don't plan on posting pictures. If you want pics to show your derm you can easily show him the pics of the 41 year old woman in the UF study. But if I do tell you it works you will ...

I do have some before pictures but they are not super and the lighting conditions might be hard to reduplicate. It was definite good news to hear directly from Rakesh that depressed scars improved bu...

Rakesh was kind enough to give a reply in which he stated that the study did show improvement in depressed scars. They are also continuing further studies he mentioned and he hopes to send me some ph...

It's only barely been past a week. For me to say I had improvement or not would be very premature and presumptious. If a person that refers to acne and chicken pox scars and isn't referring to inden...

ylem,   Did you read the link in the very first post of this thread thoroughly enough to understand it? It clearly states this drug showed good to excellent improvement in acne and chicken pox...

Well I went ahead and sent an e-mail to Bharti Rakesh asking for clarification. Hopefully I will get a reply. Here's what it contains. Bharti Rakesh,   I am a member of www.acne.org who reside...

I haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary. The doctor didn't mention blood test at all but I don't know if that has anything to do with me being relatively young and healthy. I have two bot...

Melisconca,   The UF study was not a control group study either and you really didn't answer my question about where you are getting your information cause I can't find it anywhere. Do you have ...

Melisconca,   When you say the study, (I take it you are refering to the UF study) do you realize that there were two separate studies done? One in Florida and the other in India? The one in In...

It's only been a week of 25 mg daily and I feel fine. I seriously doubt I will see any of the psychological effects of this stuff. If I don't see any changes in 3 months I will quit but if I see imp...

tricia,   Actually this particular drug has shown to help people lose weight. It also reverses some negative health issues seen in diabetics which I think might contribute to the scars healing a...

nsxlr8,   Did you choose fraxel as your treatment or was that what Dr. Cothern recommended? Did you have to hide out your first few days afterwards or did you feel comfortable enough to do your ...

nsxlr8,   Do you know what skin type you are and how much are you paying and is it full face?   Violet,   What you are doing sounds good but might be better if your camera had an automa...

They should all accept credit cards. I wouldn't say all doctors perform Fraxel equally.

zxc,   Read the drug info linked below. This is the released information and this is probably the only information you are going to get unless you know someone who works for the company.   T...

Read the FAQ. Your questions are way to vague and general.

I appreciate the concern people.   I did my homework and read the drug data sheets which is required to list all the pertinent side effects. My doctor and pharmacist did ask me if I had any ques...

zxc,   How do you know that taking aspirin doesn't change your brain permanently. Hell, drinking alcoholic beverages changes your brain permanently cause it kills brain cells. Every significant...

olbarn,   In Shapira's study it was starting at 15 mgs and then going to 30 mgs if no side effects were seen. In Rakesh's study (the one with alot of acne and chicken pox scarred patients) it wa...

Novalie,   It was prescribed for migraines which I occasionally get. He said it was a month's worth as a trial to see how I like.   Have you been using Topamax and how long?

I plan on sticking to the low dosage of 25 mg.

Actually NEC, if you go to www.topamax.com migraines is the thing that is mainly mentioned. I believe the drug is also for bipolar disorder.   I find it very positive for us that Rakesh's study ...

NEC,   I dont think you read both links. There were two studies done, one by Shapira and one by Rakesh. Shapira's was more traumatic and surgical type scars but Rakesh's did include acne scars ...
