Stop Taking Accutane Before the End of Cycle?

I'm scared of my treatment with Accutane, and I want to stop. I'm in the fifth week, I took a few days in doses of 40 mg 60mg others. I have taken on average about 70 tablets. I wonder if stopping now, my risks of long-term side effects can be minimized, I am grateful
