thanks hitmeoff.
I tried all the b-5 thing took up to 50 250mg caps a day and figured that was enough very small help.
I am in day 4 taking 60mg a day and I can feel a few sides along with my skin feeling different texture< less oily.
I can also feel my sinuses dried out and lips are starting to crack and skin around my nose inside and outside is becoming dry.
The acne is clearing up very fast seems it has went down almost all together just old wounds healing up now.
I just got someone who offered to send me 60 more 40 mg caps I only had 30, 20mg caps so just enough for 60mg for 10 days not nearly enough.
I have also purchased some antibiotics and topical skin creams but am not going to mix the two this should be plenty if I get 60 more tabs @ 40mg for one good cycle of accutane to knock most of it out.

I cant remember exactly why, but anti-biotics, especially tetra and doxycycline are a big no no while on accutane. Make sure you DO NOT take these while on.
The only cream you should be applying on yourself is moisturiser with SPF 15. Acne creams will dry you out even more and can irritate your skin while on tane. So keep on with your original plan bro.
yes, thanks for correction info here is more,
