WELL SO FAR IM A HALF ASS ON WAI'S DIET AND IM ON 10GRAMS OF B-5. MY FACE HAS CLEARED UP TREMENDOUSLY BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I STILL GET 1 OR 2 PIMPLES. RIGHT NOW IM WORKING ON CLEARING MY SCARS AND THESE 2 STUBBORN ZITS I HAVE ON MY FACE. LOL. BUT IF I DO NOT TOTALLY CLEAR BY SEPT THEN IM GONNA STICK TO WAI'S DIET THE BEST THAT I CAN AND IM GONNA TAKE EITHER MY MYNOCYLINE OR JUST GO DIRECTLY TO ACCUTANE.

04:48 AM		Hi pretty one!

I have been on minocycline. at first it decreased my acne (about 50%), but then my acne gradually became worse agin, I guess because its an antibiotic, and the body easily gets resistant against antibiotics. So it can only work temporarily.
I was also on Roaccutane. It did eliminate my acne, but it came back within monts like nothing had happened.
But I guess it is about what you are looking for; a temporary relief or something that lasts?
Personally, I feel the side effects of Roaccutane (=accutane) are a bit harsh also, especially for women. Did you read the info about Accutane and women of child bearing potential??? http://www.rocheusa.com/products/accutane/pi.html#CONTRAINDICATIONS%20AND%20WARNINGS
and http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/isotret_wcp.htm

Ciao bella!
