breakout after 5th month on accutane

by bigjon386, Mar 24, 2007 12:00AM
I had been on 80mg/day of accutane for 4 months.  My derm put me on 40mg/day two weeks ago because i had cleared up mybe three weeks after i started.  Im breaking out like crazy now.  I didnt think it would come back like this because im still takin the stuff.  If anyone has heard of this or has any reccomendations i would appreciate it.  Thanks

i had taken accutane on two different occasions in my life.  Here are my experiences:  I was still in high school- i probably took it for 3 months, acne cleared up and i stopped after the 3 months.

im 24 this year and 3 years ago i had taken accutane again and for the first month i was breaking out like krzy, all over my face like i have never broke out before in my life.  This cleared up after i kept using it but after my 3 months treatment, the effects were just temporary because i still break out pretty severely.  I dont know if this helped but i just wanted to let you know about my experiences.  good luck..
