stopping accutane early

stopping accutane early

I've been on accutane for about 6 weeks. It's the second time I'm on it because my acne came back after the first treatment, even though it wasn't as bad. Now I'm starting to doubt whether it's worth the cost and the side effects again, because my skin really wasn't that bad. What are the possible problems associated with stopping early, especially when I've only been on it now for such a short time?

Please stick with it. Completing this second course of Accutane is your best hope of a long term remission from acne. 80% of patients remain clear after just one course, the other 20% warrant a second course. No other medicine is as likely to result in excellent or total skin clearance.
