Hello all!! I recently just started taking the pill again (Belara) which is meant to be good for acne. I asked two doctors which one would be suitable for acne and they both seemed to lean towards Be...

read the packet inside the medication box it usually says whether you should swallow whole or not to swallow crushed drugs etc. I dont know about accutane. I take an extended release med (glucophage) ...

i would stop, if my health was getting worse.

they have just recently banned Diane 35 in France and it has also just been banned this week in Dubai. I know all medication have side effects and all but this was the nastiest ever. They reported tha...

i didn't have all the symptoms of pcos, but most of them. For eg i was slightly overweight but didn't have a lot of weight around my abs, which is indicative or a symptom of pcos and insulin resistant...

its possible that you are shedding from spiro. I suggest you see an endo. When treating acne, people do take spiro but all my doctors told me they take it in conjunction with BCP to maintain the balan...

yes BCP does really help pcos. Its just a matter of which pill . Did you ever manage to mention Belara to your doctor? I know its not available in the US. i dont know why. a few times i went to 2 diff...

i never heard of anyone taking them both together because people take either spiro or accutane. I heard some ppl say they were told to not take them together. If your acne is hormonal and your taking ...

before you take accutane you have to be aware that hair loss and fall is a side effect of accutane. My doctor even told me this, she even said some patients even tell her they dont care about their ha...

over the past 10 years i have seen so many doctors for my pcos and skin related issues (acne). All of them prescribe the same creams over and over (sometimes i used to just shut up and roll my eyes th...

i kno you say the pill 'mask's rather than cures it but for some people with hormonal problems, such as pcos, and hormonally related breakouts, the pill does a lot more than just 'mask'. It balances o...

all what you mention are symptoms of hormonal imbalance. I have pcos too. I know a lot of people say BCP is not the answer for pcos as it just 'masks' but isn't that true of every single medication an...

hi! omg when i read your post its like reading everything i have experienced. Only i am still on BCP. Vitex made me crazy. it is supposed to make you balanced but i got much worse on it! Saw Palmetto ...

i often wonder this. Doctors will always tell you no. but I always break out bad, soemtimes in a lot of tiny small pimples. I would like to also know.

Diane is the worse, you really dont want to go on it. If you want clear skin but don't mind gaining pounds, possibly having hair loss and getting thrombosis and migraines, then fine but i'll be honest...

In univserity i saw the private doctors who were assigned to take in students on a private basis. they were okay. But once i went to a GP/Surgeon or whatever he was near our home in London, he was a f...

i'm not too sure about Canada, i don't think its in the US but its a very popular European med. It is fairly new but my derm and gyno (not endo) said that all their patients are really happy with it a...

accutane was developed as a cancer medication and is still used to treat nerve cancers and other cancers. It quickly kills rapidly dividing cells. It doesn't select what to damage, it just damages wha...

i'm not sure to be honest because my doctor told me i could have IPL hair removal, microdermabrasions and light chemicals peels on accutane but not any LASER resurfacing. Two doctors in the same clini...

maybe you are anxious of the side effects and starting a new medication. Don't get anxious, just try to relax and have some camomile or valerian tea before you sleep. My doctor told me that an increa...

I duno why but where i live YAZ is the most expensive of BCP. They still prescribe it. I heard its good for acne, but I take belara and i heard its even better for acne but they dont have it in the US...

you are still so young. I know you dont want to hear this but there is a point where acne really gets bad in males then just settles. My brothers was the worse till he was 19 and then it just stops wh...

milk is so bad for acne, you shouldn't even have it, its full of hormones that trigger off acne

there are a multitude of factors that lead to acne. After working out, do you wash your face properly? Do you remove your make up well at night? Are you eating anything that could potentially be trigg...

yes it should generally stop. You might get cysts in the frst 1-2 months of use but then it goes. because the mid cycle surge of LH and the drop/rise in other hormones can trigger off hormonal acne. I...
