Just out of curiosity, is is fairly easy to get prescribed spiro for very mild acne, but very oily skin? I also have other indicators that I have some sort of a hormonal imbalance; oily skin, acne pri...

Hello! A little late but I happened to stumble across this post and I'm VERY interested in the drug! How did you get prescribed it? & how is your skin doing now?? Less oily still? No acne issues? ...

Day 10 Borage Oil -- 2 x 300mg GLA - skin felt oilier than yesterday and I checked when I got home (I always blot after approximately 12 hours after washing my face and applying makeup--sorry no pic ...

Side effects I got from spiro included severe hair loss, extreme fatigue, and dry mouth. Most people don't seem to have nearly as many side effects as I got, though. If it wasn't for the side effects,...

No, I haven't tried Spiro. But I am looking into it more as of recently.. what sorts of negative side effects were you experiencing & how well did it control your oil? As well as say Accutane mayb...

This will be pretty brief since I'm on my phone.. Ok so it is Day 9 and I switched to borage oil (2 x 300mg GLA) maybe 2 days ago? - I definitely noticed a difference today in oil production - I hav...

I realize you aren't in the US but is anyone aware of the typical cost of spiro? I know it's going to depend on the kind of coverage you have through your insurance but ball park anyone? $5-$20? 30-$6...

Hi! First off, I'm sorry that your oily skin has returned post tane.. I was in the same exact position a few years back; I was VERY oily prior to Accutane and I finished my 1st course and was oil fre...

Day 5 Evening Primrose Oil -- 3 x 1300mg EPO (117mg GLA per capsule): I forgot to mention that really, this isn't my "5th" day.. I have been taking EPO since around November '14, I have only recently...

Let me start by telling you that I am a full time college student and a part-time EMT who has suffered VERY oily skin and is no stranger to Accutane. I took isotretinoin for 5 years—...

There are legitimate places to purchase Accutane in an alcohol suspension form but no one on here is going to reveal that because it could expose the company more than it needs to be. Usually legitima...

I'm glad I found this.. I did 2 full rounds of Accutane (40-60mg) under physician supervision. I wanted my dry skin back so I did a LOT of research and talked to a lot of people on here and eventually...

YAZ birth control (sorry I think you are a guy) but this is for the ladies that happen to view the thread

It's great that you have got your oily skin under control. I am too afraid of trying to self-medicate with OTC Vitamin A.. Accutane is much safer, I've gone through 2 courses.

I know that this topic was started a few months back but I thought it would be helpful to submit my experience with oily skin. I took Accutane in HS for 2 years and had amazing results. In college I ...

It's not even been a day yet since I've posted this, and not even been a week since I've started taking Vitamin A.   I've decided I'm not going to do this.. I am worried for my health and safety...

My name is Kimberly and I have very, very oily skin.   Accutane   I had two courses of Accutane 1st course -- AUG'08 - JAN'09 (oil/acne came back 6 months later) 2nd course -- SEP'09 -JUN'1...

Hello,   Just stumbled across this topic today. Oiler, I noticed you said that using this reduced your sebum levels? How true is this? Or I suppose I mean, has anyone else noticed this?

Wow nice progress : )

Good grief! These posts are scary..   I started Yaz a little over a year ago because I was going on Accutane.. My skin got so bad in that month before I started Accutane.. But of course it cleare...
