Lipid panel

Im currently taking accutane to end this terrible chest and back acne.I have to provide labs to the dr. Each month and if my total cholesterol is 199 or higher or liver enzyms are off she wont write me the script.What if anything can I run?

Moved this into here so maybe you will get more responses.

Fortunately I have never had to run accutane bro. Best I could tell you is to come off of it for awhile.

Maybe someone with more experience with it can chime in.

Buy Ubiquinol from Puritans Pride online. Take 200mg a day.. Takes a week to build up and then it's going to slowly work. You won't have to even think of coming off for Cholesterol or trigylcerides again.

I was prescribed Accutane about 16 years ago. It's harsh stuff. Has tons of side effects and the FDA HATES the stuff. But I'm curious, is it working for you? Has it improved your condition? It might be better to worry first about your acne, which must be pretty bad if you require, and a doctor is willing to prescribe, Accutane. If you take the gear together with Accutane you run a particular health risk. If you quit the Accutane just so you can use gear, you'll just exacerbate the condition of your acne. You're kind of in a rough spot here. I wish I could help you. BTW... how does your blood work read? are your blood lipids and liver enzymes currently normal?

I ran accutane through the docs before, had to get bloods taken every month. They had me stop on two separate occasions for high cholesterol. What worked for me was red yeast rice (vitamin you can buy at the store) and fish oil. Also, make sure you take your accutane with a meal. Taking it without food I found also raised my cholesterol sharply. Maybe it was just my experience and there's no science behind that, but it lowered my numbers.

Thx pain Im new here and trying to find my way around.

Yeah man I just got my labs back and everything was in check.She did ask why my RBC count was high.I played dumb on that thinking she must know why.Had my heart set on a run of prop and tren but thats not gonna happen with her watching my labs.I plan on sticking to just deca and test in hopes that it wont really destroy my lipid panel.Hey Khem are you do you think if I run Umbiquinol I could get away with the tren?or would that be asking alittle to much?

All steroids will mess with your lipids, which is why I recommend running ubiquinol Non stop forever. I am actually coming off ubiquinol for this cycle, taking bloods after I'm in a bit, then jumping on ubiquinol and retesting in a few months to prove, and show to myself and everyone how fantastic it is.

To answer your question, would ubiquinol keep lipids looking healthy on cycle , yes. On a cycle and on accutane? Not a clue in the world. It would help a lot but I have no idea. Both steroids and accutane are very bad on lipids.

I recommend you cruise or come off until you're finished, but that is your call.
