Posted under Accutane q&a

My acne cleared in the first few weeks. It's been 3 months, can I stop taking it early? What are the chances it comes back?

I've been on Accutane for 3 months and my acne completely cleared in the first few weeks and hasn't come back at all. I am struggling with some of the side effects and was wondering if its possible for it to have cleared more quickly and that I could possibly stop taking it early since its worked so well? Are the chances it comes back high? I had minor to moderate cystic acne to begin with.
