This is the 3rd time im taking accutane. 1st time was when i was about 15. 2nd when i was 18. Now im 20 and iv been eating accutane for the past 4 months and its not working! It has always started working after about 2 months and kept me totally clear for a year or so. Im taking 40mg every day. Im 80kg, thats about 160lbs I think. It looks like the drug is not working at all!

What should I do!?

I don't actually have any advice for you. Just wanted to say that I hope it starts working for you. It's probably time to follow up with your derm/doctor and see what they think. Good luck.

my derm says that i should only take "sotret" not any of the other generic's for accutane he says it has the best results

Try cutting out milk and dairy. I havent had one pimple since I did this 3 months ago! Take it from a fellow Accutaner who still had acne.

I did 4 times as much as you for my first ever course so you might have built up a resistance and need to bump the dose.
