A: High dose Accutane (isotretinoin): Is it safe to double dose if having symptoms?

Dear Cachonda,

If the doctor prescribing your Accutane is not a board-certified dermatologist, I recommend you see a board-certified dermatologist who has experience with Accutane, in person, in the office, to have the conversation about whether it is appropriate for your doctor to double your dosage. Accutane is a complex medication with many side effect risks which is only appropriate to treat recalcitrant (hard to fix) acne. You are describing a "high liver", by which I assume you mean high liver enzyme blood levels, and joint and muscle pain. No internet question and answer by doctors who don't know every detail of your personal health history and your actual blood test results could answer this appropriately. Please find a second opinion in person. You are right to question this, but that doesn't mean it's a wrong choice if your situation warrants it and the medication is carefully managed by an experienced dermatologist.

	“Accutane is Worth Trying if You...” I am now on my 4th month and everything is going well. My acne is clearing out and my dermotology doctor guarantees it will not come back. Try it for the first month if nothing really happens then the second month they will double your dosage. The only thing that has happen to me is my face gets very dry and lips. I can deal with this. You also have to watch when you go out in the hot sun,... more
	“Accutane Works Wonders - This is my...” Accutane works wonders. This is my 2nd treatment. First being 10 years ago. My skin became very oily again which is the reason for me doing the treatment again. I have dry skin and chapped lips but so far, other than that, I'm doing very well.Recently started accutane (5 weeks ago) I've broken out on my bum which I have never done before. Can accutane cause this? Could it be a more
	“Deleted All Acne from my Face and...” My face was not cystic, but i had a lot of acne. None of it has come back on my checks, forehead, or upper lip. The lip third of my face by my chin and jaw break out but it is the difference between a face full of acne and a few zits. My nose was the only thing that really relapsed. All of my blackheads were gone and the pores shrank by the sides of the nose, however this went back to the way... more
	“Accutane. Amazing Results, Minor...” I am five years, and two kids later, out of three cycles of Accutane. Could not be happier. I suffered from large cyst like outbreaks once in a while. But, the cysts were so large & would leave me with divids in my face up to 2 years later. I had adult onset acne at age 26. It does dry out your sebum...so, your natural olis will produce less...ergo less acne. I have not had a massive... more
	“Don't Even Try Using Accutan” This is a list of the side effects i experienced from using accutane I have fair - mediun skin tone and my hands were turning black. Dry eyes Suicidal thoughts (thank God I didn't having any problems at the time) It did make any sense to have those thoughts.
