The first 3 months I was taking 30mg once a day. This past month I am taking 20mg twice a day. I had pretty moderate acne. Since they upped my dosage to twice a day, I have had such awful side effects, even worse than when I first started. I even took time off work because my back pain was so bad. I am prescribed to take another 2 months. I even missed my window to pick up my medication so I have to start the whole process over again if I actually want to pick it up.
My skin is perfectly clear at this point and i'm mostly just focused on spotting on my back.I've been taking 20mg for 1 month,40 for 2,and 80 for 1 month.I'm 5'0 and 103 pounds with mostly just cystic acne on my back from time to time... but other than that i just get blackheads and bumps from facial hair. Anyways my skin is clear right now but i wonder if when i stop because its 2 months early will my skin just go back to the way it was?
I had severe acne so my doctor prescribed me to Accutane. After six months of using it my face was completely clear. After I stopped using it I would continue to wash my face every morning and night and about five months later my face started to break out really bad again
I am on 10 mg Accutane for two months now, and the doctor has just prescribed me 20 mg for the next two months. He said that is all i need to get my face clear up and i do not have to come back to him because by then my treatment will end. My friend stopped the treatment gradually, so i want to know does this increase the possibility of acne coming back again? Also, i still have under skin pimples, so i am in doubt that such a low does will get them to pop out or fade in 2 months.
I was prescribed Accutane 20mg for 2wks then increased to 40mg for a month and then 60mg. My skin began to get extremely itchy and I see dry red patches mostly below my butt and my legs. Hydrocortisone n lotion only help for 1-2hours before they itch again. Told my derm and she put me back on 40mg. Now (4mths in), the dry patches still itch n still there, and I'm also suffering from vaginal dryness. Should I stop Accutane?? If not, will all of these go away after I'm done with Accutane??
I am on a 8-month Accutane treatment. 40mg a day. My dermatologist prescribe for me each 2 months alone, because it is the legal dose in hospitals. My course of 2 months is over and I am out of town now.My question is, what is the maximum period of time I can stop taking accutane until it is delivered to me by my dermatologist?
