Low dose Accutane: does it work?

vagou
I started accutane 4 months ago. I can only tolerate 10mg 5 days/week. If I take more then my hair starts to fall off like crazy. Even with 5x/week my hair is falling more then usual. After 4 months I still break out (not as bad and they clear up faster). Will it work in the end? Will it just take more time to stop my acne completly? Do you suggest en alternative dosing like 20mg 3x/week...could it be better?
