Pros:

Didn't experience anything positive

Cons:

Too many pills to take in one day
Hard to keep up with
Expensive if you use it long term
Dizzy

I basically tried this out for a week....yeah I know thats not long enough but still. I got really tired with keeping up w/ taking so many pills. And a lot of times it would make me tired and dizzy. Sometimes even too tired to stand up. Plus, it would've costed me a lot to continue on the pills. I took 5 or 10 grams a day and a whole bottle of 250 pills wouldn't have even lasted me 2 weeks.

Pros:

seemed to reduce skin oil?

Cons:

made me break out MUCH worse than before, made me feel sick. dried out skin and didn't let anything heal.
Maybe i didn't try it for long enough, but i don't care-this stuff didn't make me feel right at all.

Sounds a little like accutane at first? i dont know cause i haven't been on accutane but my guess is no, they aren't all that similar. No where near the amount of research has been done on b5 as it has been on accutane, so i think accutane might even be safer-hard to tell. Starting at 5 and going up to 10g/ day is so unnatural for your body, and it throws other chemical balances in your body out of wack. ive read good reviews on this (why i went on it) but no matter what they say, i cant imagine megadosing on this stuff is good for you. Save yourself the trouble and don't try it.

Cons:

slightly worsened my acne

a little more energy for a little more acne is not worth it.
