I would love some helpful information
 

I just moved, I no longer have a doctor or time to get a prescription or hit up a dermatologist.

Texas is much dryer than Illinois and it has cause me to breakout for the first time in years...back when I used to break out my dermatologist put me on ampicillin 500mg.

I remember the dosages and took it for over a year.

I don't feel like paying $200 to see a dermatologist and I bought some aquatic ampicillin 500mg and it's supposed to be safe for human consumption (even though it warns against it)

supposedly it's the same exact stuff as the ampicllin you get at a pharmacy

I've researched quite thoroughly, but was hoping some of you all would have some insight...other than antifreeze or AIDS or...well any of that is fine, too...but would like some useful stuff in the middle.

Don't get your body hooked on pills. If you already have, wean it off.

Soooooooooo, you want to be a lab rat?

If you can wait until tomorrow when I get back to work (hospital pharmacy) I can give you a definitive answer.

Soliciting and dispensing medical advice on a football message board is ill-conceived. I don't remember ampicillin being used to treat acne. More commonly tetracycline and its derivatives are taken orally for acne treatment.

doubt ampicillin is addictive...it's like a gentle amoxycillin that fights bacteria and some dermatologists use it to prevent acne...

worked for me when I used to take it...

it's not in any way, shape or form addictive..

well when I was 20 and went to the dermatologist he told me to stop using over the counter acne products and put me on 500mg ampicillin 1 in the morning 2 at night and it cleared me up a week after and for the last 6 years (haven't taken it in probably 4 years)

have the same sort of breakout now since moving that I did when he put me on that long ago

Carving out an hour for a doctor's appointment is well worth the potential downside. Even if aquatic ampicillin is the exact same stuff, can you trust the seller who is providing you with the pills?

Even if you don't have time to be referred to a specialist, perhaps you should just get an appt. with a general practitioner and tell them to cut you a script for some minocycline. Even if you don't have insurance, Wal-Mart would most likely fill that script for a few dollars.

Well hopefully the aquatic version works!

I have insurance but I need to cancel it because I'm out of my coverage area in Dallas.

The seller had a 99.9% rating on a shit ton of ratings on Ebay...I did as much research as possible as I don't like to put myself in any sort of jeopardy...(I know, I know...then just get an appointment...)

I'm just really lazy.

I can tell you don't really know the history of how Aquaman was created...

There's a reason why your body can't fight the bacteria you're talking about. Pills should be a "I got sick, needed help, thank you" solution.

I'm being totally honest Hootie, break out a juicer in the morning for one week and see how your body treats you back. Down some kale, broccoli rahb, beets and other raw foods.

You're body is a lot like your car or any other piece of machinery.

What are you giving your machine function? Bet it's not good if this is where your at. And I'll shut the **** up if you are, and I'm actually going to bed but think about it.

Break out... as in acne? Does a drier climate make that worse? I'd have thought the opposite.

Change Hootie's username to The Meat Lover's Pizza Face.

do you agree with this...

10,000 people (or so) have bought "fish"cillin from this seller, 99.9% positive...are these people all really treating fish? Or are they self medicating?

He sells amoxycillin, penicillin, the shit that cures chlamydia (and I promise I'm not buying that stuff, if I had chlamydia, I'd tell you all just like last time!)...

I doubt assholes are all buying this stuff for their fish...I mean, the auction itself kind of makes it sound like it's a "human workaround"...by stating...

"also", this is labeled aquatic so you don't need a prescription

etc etc etc

I'm just really lazy.[/QUOTE]

Is it pure laziness or money issues? If it is laziness then dude just go to a derm and don't risk having to deal with things if you have an adverse reaction. Plus, there might be something better than what they had 6 yrs ago.

well I don't drink pop...only water and milk...mostly water...

as for what I eat...I eat pasta...chicken...I'm not super unhealthy...I don't eat a ton of fruits or vegetables but it's not like I'm downing grease or anything...I don't really even like junk food...

my dermatologist wrote me 2 years worth of ampicillin prescriptions in a row...it's not something I was ever addicted to but it certainly worked...he eventually took me off of it and I haven't had any issues until the recent move.

it's not like teen greasy acne...

it's not real bad but it's comparable to what the doctor gave me ampicillin for before...

that's not the point...I know what I need, it's ampicillin...that's not even up for debate right now

I just am trying to see if I should take the stuff I have, if anyone else has had experience...

I've googled and have found many people saying it's the same stuff and they use it all the time and save a boat load of money...was hoping someone I trusted on CP knew anything about it...

that's all

not really looking for any other advice or criticisms...

LMAO

God bless our mods

You don't get addicted to antibiotics so that is a non issue.

Ok...
Utilizing antibiotics for acne has been proven useful for most young people. However, there are different types of acne. Most are caused by bacteria on the skin but some, (which may really be the case here) are caused by climate and atmospheric differences that irritate the skin. Dry air, dust in the air or extremely humid conditions can cause it. Is your skin oily or dry? Is it red and itchy? The acne that you have now, is it similar to what you had when you were a teen?
These are all questions you need to answer before self prescribing.

Also,
The aquatic grade antibiotic has a different delivery time/method than the type humans take. When you pop an apicillin pill, the dissolve time can take several hours where the aquatic grade would likely take less time so you may have a reaction to the amount you take due to quick delivery. This can also cause antibiotic OD/poisoning which can decrease urinary function.
Some of the aquatic AB's are exactly the same though so you need to check on that. Put the pill in a glass of hot water and vinegar, 50/50. See how long it takes to dissolve. If it's a short time, then you have your answer and need to take the AB in smaller doses.

Hope this helped.

Thanks.

Home Depot sells 100,000,000 cans of spray paint every year. I doubt assholes are buying this stuff for painting stuff. They even kind of make it sound like you should huff it by asking for ID every time you buy it.

care to decipher this?

This is the shit that makes me think I am staring at the same stuff I would if I had the regular prescription.

In the same way as oxycottin (i don't know how to spell it) or heroin, no, not at all. But your body will give up producing what it needs when it doesn't need to anymore. Take a look at some guys balls whose been taking testosterone to look like a ****ing weird gorilla.

Body says 'we no need you anymore more dear hangers' and the dick shrivels into a pea. The immune system does the same thing.

It's no good my brother, I've seen it.

I don't think you really mean that.

No sweat... If you grow gills and shit let me know.

If you don't want to bless anyone that's your business.

these are the pills I have with the exact label, too...look the exact same, too

the guy even referenced drugs.com to see what kind of pills I would be getting

99.9% seller

You really can't get addicted to antibiotics, broski. They just target bacterias and assist immune systems.

You CAN decrease their effectiveness over time with prolonged use though.

should I just take one and see what happens?! can't be the worst things that ever happened, can it?

that's the link

Ok **** face Gonzo, I'm really going to bed after this.

No, you can't get addicted to antibiotics the same way you get addicted to narcotics. But, if you're body is flooded with certain antibiotics it will stop producing them, the bacteria in your body that fall under than category will evolve and become better at fighting it AND your body will stop naturally producing the antibodies that the given antibiotics fight.

It's true as the sun is going to rise in the east.

Go give lumpy a back rub because I'm really going to bed this time. I'll look at the thread tomorrow.

I love you Gonzo. In a really gay way.

Doesn't work that way, you have to get a certain amount in your system for it to work. That's why doctors always tell you to take all of them even though you're feeling better. Taking one wouldn't likely do anything as far as seeing if you'd have a reaction, it's the prolonged exposure that I'm concerned about with the delivery speed and all.

Immunosuppression from long term antibiotic use possible but at therapeutic doses for acne control doubtful as risk/benefit for that doesn't make sense. Taking a broad spectrum antibiotic could affect the normal flora in GI tract and make you shit and feel like shit I guess.

Yeah, I know. I mentioned that in a later post, homo.

Love you too baby.

did you look at the link?

I just feel like that's probably a "wink wink" this is for humans not fish item...

agree or disagree?

You are sure it was ampicillin and you don't have a penicillin allergy...no need to kill yourself over pimples.

100% positive it was ampicillin and I have no allergies...

I took this stuff via prescription for 2 years

Took a while to load... Agree. I had no idea that they did this, really. They need to sell painkillers for fish... Lol

lets put it this way...6 years ago when the dermatologist looked at me he took 30 seconds and wrote me a script for ampicillin and gave me a lotion and moved on...that's how minor it was and how easy of a prognosis it was for the guy...

and he charged me $125...for 30 seconds

Yeah that's definitely there, I'd do it. Or the anti-freeze.

LMAO

dont take it for more than 7-10 days

**** that's lame.

There's gotta be a black market for prescription skin care.

so taking it for 730 days on a prescription from a doctor I saw once a month wasn't a good idea?

Forward that link to Norv Turner.

**** it I'm just gonna take them and see what happens...I'll let you guys know if I die

:popcorn:

I personally dont think so, if i am understanding correctly that you took 1500 mg per day

That's super expensive. You should try doxycycline or minocycline. They both work well and they are cheap.

I'd head on down to tractor supply and ask the vet what you should take.

Out here on the Hog Farm when we have a deformed pig we just go ahead and euthanize it. Just sayin.

ROFL

Have one of the local studs shower your face with man sauce. That should counter the effects of going through puberty. We won't have to worry about your next thread ****official my nutts have dropped****

How much is fish viagra?

You never know what you will get off Ebay...

50 cents.

I think the reasonable solution at this point is to hunt down Hootie like a feral hog with pitchforks and torches. Bwana and Iowanian on opposite east and west high points with .308's and we'll place MoHillbilly in the valley with a blunt instruments to direct and align the scared and confused Hootie into the sniper fire.

It's the only way. You had a good run! Hootie!

ask Norv Turner

so I'm still alive and the meds have already worked perfectly...so yay for self medicating

I heard ambicillin can make you delusional. It can make you hallucinate, like believing terrible QBs like Huard are good.

That may just be rumor though.
