Please Help: Can I Stop my Accutane Treatment After 5 Months of Course?

moimoi923
I have been on Accutane for 5 months (this is my 5th month). I have mild to moderate acne. My 1st month I was on 20mg/day dose. I was moved to 40mg/day for 2nd&3rd month. My blood test at the end of 3rd month showed high cholesterol levels in my blood, thus I was moved to 20mg/day dose for 4th&5th month. I am 26 yrs. old female, weighing 47kgs (103 pounds). My skin has completely cleared up. Can I stop the treatment after the 5th month or do I still need to continue. Please advise.
