I did get on accutane as well. Should I stop taking minocycline right fucking now? I'm supposed to take it tonight. It stops my cystic acne. I'm just worried about my gut. What do I do man, what do i do?
Dude I didn't even want to be on antibiotics! I asked my fucking derm for accutane for a second round and he said it's not bad enough for accutane again! Wtf! So gay
idk, im no expert. Stop taking the antibiotics, start taking good probiotics/prebiotics. Foods like sourkraut, kimchi etc for healthy gut. Higher dose of accutane and a good skin care routine with retin-a and niacinamide will help.
Yeah, stop that and try aip diet (research this! It's a lot to get into but it's wort it) to identify what's causing your skin to be so oily
My skin is hyper sensitive, I can barely use retinol it gets red. I have retinol on my face as I'm typing this though. I want you to see just how shit my skin is. The disgusting picture I'm about to show you is me before accutane, and after. WARNING YOU MAY THROW UP. I have to do a ton of shit or my face breaks out.
idk. Carnivore seems legit tho.
Yeah bro what is it? I'll microdose accutane just for a few months and take niacin, that's what I had to take past time because it made my triglyceride levels go up. I have all my blood work records on paper from accutane.
Definitely
Your skin looks good. I doubt you'll get cystic acne from hopping off the antibiotics. If it starts to happen again, I would do accutane at high dosages to nuke it. Cut dairy out of your diet, or try an elimination diet.
Not at all. Probably around 15%
Yep niacin works fantastic for that. Fish oil too and sun exposure.

The top one is a more trustworthy site, I buy stuff from there. Bottom one is good too!
np, pm me if you have any questions.
surprised he isn't dead tbh. what a stupid derm.
I've been on it for so long I don't remember what my normal levels are like. But I'm severely depressed right now. If I jack off, I get suicidal the next day. Today I wanted to kill myself all day. My energy levels are kinda shit tbh. I have no idea if it's just me being a lanky tall kid with a fast metabolism though. I eat very healthy, because my body has so many hormonal issues. I know I have/had high estrogen because I have gynocomastia, and I have obviously had cystic acne. I also bloat hard asf if I eat a small amount of carbs. I'm pretty much always full of water from water retention. My skin was SO fucking oily, like oily as a fucking pan to cook food on. And that was 2 hours after washing it. It was incredibly oily, so I probably had high test levels that were causing high estrogen levels. Accutane really saved me once before. I'll hop on it again if my acne starts coming back.
Good to know I was almost at the same level as your because of like 15 antibiotic treamtments as a child, it basically destroyed my gut from an early age on so I could never really have access to nutrients etc so I looked like a legit zombie my whole life (to all you muuh environment has no influence muuh genetics predetermined bullshitters)
I'll try it out. I can barely eat greasy food or dairy at all though, it makes me break out. And I'm like 15% body fat I'm not sure if I could do carnivore. I stopped the antibiotics yesterday I'm just worried I'm gonna break out really bad tbh.
I actually agree. The only probiotic that helped me was the megaspore probiotic.
pizza truecel to mid tier normie, kinda great transformation tbh
Yeah it was that severe. I break out but not NEARLY as bad as before. It was so gross, that teachers and shit would grimace in person looking at me. Imagine the embarassment of being in high school around girls with a face like that dude. It was so humiliating. My dermatologist would not give me a second round of accutane, he just gives me endless cycles of antibiotics. I stopped taking them last night, I'm praying my healthy eating is enough to stop my acne, but I doubt it. I don't want to fuck my intestines any more than they are.
Are you sure? Wait minocycline doesn't fuck up the internal gut?
Hey man. I always trust your advice when I see it tbh. I also cover my shit in potassium based off your advice. I'm just a little confused, because somebody said that Mino and doxy don't kill gut bacteria? Really confusing tbh
Minocycline is the best antibiotics for acne because of the lack of side effects and it doesn't change a lot of the gut, making it the most safe to use long term.
Studies are controversial, some say doxy does reduce the number of certain strains of beneficial bacteria, some say, it doesn't.
I'm just afraid it will cause me to break out horribly again.
Try to sort out the root cause then. Can't help with that though. You might have to fix your digestive system completely for that. The skin eliminates toxins too. Especially when your liver, kidneys and colon don't work properly.
