I am approaching the end of my Accutane treatments, 5 months on 70mg/ per a day. During this time, I have not consumed alcohol and I have gain a substantial amount of weight. I am aware I am not allow to do strenuous exercise to lose this weight. Therefore, how long should I wait after my treatment,to have a drinking night? and in addition how long should I wait before I start dieting and exercising?
