Day 104. Need Some Encouragement

So today is the beginning of my 4th month. I went to see my derm today and she kept me at 40mg because my cholesterol levels were elevated. So basically I'm pretty sure that I won't be allowed to go above 40mg and it kind of bums me out. I at least wanted to make it to 60 just because I've read that the higher the dosage the better the success rate. I've seen an improvement however in the clarity of my skin in the areas that I didn't really have bad acne before like my forehead and nose area, but my trouble spots have always been around my mouth and my cheeks. I'm not really seeing too much of an improvement there yet but my derm said that most people don't see big changes until month 4-5.

So I guess I'm just looking for somebody out there that was only on 40mg or lower and saw the results they wanted in the end. It's making me a bit discouraged because  I want this drug to work already. My acne is such a HUUUUGGGGEEE confidence issue and I'm tired of hiding out in my house. So any words of encouragement could really help.


Thanks!
