Should I come off Accutane? If my skin is already the way I want it to be, do I really need to carry on taking the tablets?

I suffer with mild acne and I have been on Accutane for 3 months now. I'm on 40mg a day, 5ft3 tall and weigh around 63 kilos. My eczema has returned after not having it for 15 years, my dermatitis is 10 times worse which I suffer quite bad with anyway, I have red patchy scaly legs and my mood swings and emotions are horrendous! My acne has basically cleared up and I feel alot more confident in my skin, do I really need to carry on taking them if my skin is now the way I want it too be?
