Accutane Dosage

Hey I've been on accutane for about a month now and I started on 40mg a day I went back to my derm his pretty old and a bit out of it and he just said stay on the same dosage. He only has me on a 3 month course but my acne is still terrible at the moment and I'm wondering if this dose is to low for me I weight 82kg with 8% body fat so I'm pretty sure I should be on a higher dosage eventually and a longer course then 40mg for 3 months?

Just asking here a fair few people are in the know, Just to add only side effects I get at all are cracked lips.

Thanks in advance!

Lose/Lose Situation???

So I've been reading about everything desperately to try and find a cure for my acne that is quite literally killing me emotionally it kills a piece of me everyday. I fear it will get to the point where I will just end my life because I can't deal with it anymore. I have severe acne/cysts massive under the skin deep cysts on my chin/jaw bone.

To start with I have tried every over counter the skin lotion, diet, product and even doctor/derm prescribed creams and anti-biotics. My diet is impeccable I eat perfectly I drink heaps of water I do intense cardio vascular training every day and I'm absolutely sick of the helplessness with acne It seems the only thing left is accutane, but from reading the posts on this forum at first I got hope from all the peoples testimonies and then I just got depressed reading the equal amount of people complaining with life long impending side effects that are debilitating and the worst thing is even knowing this I'm considering accutane because I honestly would probably rather not have the absolutely emotionally/mentally debilitating acne then the physical pain.

Basically at the end of the road here I've put up with acne all during high school and now in the years of my life that are meant to be the best but its holding me back from everything I want to do.Ive put a photo up just to show how bad it is I know some people have worst but mines still at a level that keeps me from having any self-esteem at all.

Thanks in advance and sorry for seeming pessimistic but I've gotten my hopes up so many times before I've become increasingly skeptical of everything related to acne and started to think its just an incurable POS.



Thanks in advance.

Hey

Hey I just made and account to find out if there is any actual way I can get rid of my acne or I've just been blessed with this bullsh*t for the rest of my life. To start with I've had acne since I was 15 I'm 19 now I only really get it on my neck, chin, jaw bone and cheeks but I get a huge amount of pimples and blackheads that just never let up. I've tried Pro Active, doctors prescription cream that you need to keep in the fridge + antibotics, Apple Cider Vinegar and I've tried changing my lifestyle and diet completely.

Let me go on to say I haven't eaten fast food since last year that's 4 months I don't drink/smoke I don't put a single fking thing that's bad for me in my body but I still manage to have terrible acne I just don't get it. I drink an absolute mountain of water every day my diets impeccable I've tried different "regimes" but I'm lead to believe by reading the posts on this forum they are all in fact bullsh*t and that there is no fix or acne its just if you've got it your fked and if you don't have it your lucky.

Sorry for sounding pessimistic but I'm a realist and I just wanna know straight up is there any chance I can get rid of this shit that ruin's my life or not.
