Accutane 20mg a WEEK

My skin has all my life been very oily and shiny and prone to small break outs which were horrible for me. I would wash my face and re-apply make up like 4 times a day. When I started a low dose of accutane (60 mg a week), my skin became perfect in 2 months, but I had side effects which I could not live with, like hairloss, a pain in my lower back en a pain in my legmuscles. So I went down to only 20mg a week (and now even trying 10mg a week) and all side effects are gone but my skin is perfect. I can even leave my house with no make up. And this at my age of 50. I look much younger with my nice skin. This low amount is what my docter says is a typical way of using accutane in South America. I don't know for how long I will have to use this but I can always try to even use less in the near future.

Hi I was doing the same thing for many years (10mg every 3rd/4th day) and I'm thinking of starting up again. Are you getting regular blood tests to check your liver etc? I am wondering if I should find a doc to monitor me as I already have the medication from my home country.

I about to start this same regimen myself in a few weeks. I'm very happy to read your review. I have been incorporating other methods (less stress, more sleep, more exercise, more whole foods, vitamins, zinc, l-lysine, probiotics, some facial peels in the form of azaleic acid) so my skin has been getting better as is without the Accutane, but I really would like to completely renew my skin and clear all the pores on my face. My skin has mild acne in the form of small clogged pores and a small pustule here and there (as of now I have one on my temple). I'm olive-complected so I scar easily, but my scars disappear easily too. I'm excited to try a low-dose regimen while I'm incorporating all these lifestyle changes. My hope is that Accutane will clear my skin in the meantime and while I micro dose over the next 6 months with 10 - 20mg a day, the lifestyle changes I'm implementing will help to heal my body thus my skin.
I am glad to hear that you have the perfect dose figured out now. Your skin looks great.
