Asked By:maximal96 in New London, CT

At the moment I am on my 3rd week of second accutane course and I am taking 40mg per day. My skin has already cleared and looks pretty good. Summer is approaching ,it is the time when I spend a lot of time outside ,socialise with people and go camping. It will be difficult to deal with side effects and maintain confidence while I am taking current dose. I wonder if I can lower the dosage to 20mg per day for the 1-2months summer period and then increase my dosage back?
