Hello,
So just finished my first month of accutane. Got my blood test results, everything else is normal but my cholestrol levels. So I was wondering with my high cholestrol level of 247, will the dermatologist prescribe me for next month or will she put me off of it? I am so worried about this. I took 40mg 1 month. In the start everything came normal, my cholestrol level was 199 but now it went to 247 in month on 40mg.
Will prescribe me for next month ? And i was thinking to force her to increase my dosage to if not 60mg then to 50 mg.

My liver enzymes are normal. Do you have any idea how much your cholestrol level was?

Yes please.
I have been eating peanut butter since I started taking accutane as I have heard eating 20grams of fat before taking accutane would help it absorb in the body quickly so I did that. Today I went to my dermatologist & she said peanut butter raised you cholestrol level as thats the only thing I inculded in my diet & peanut butter is high in cholestrol.
Now she has put me on 20mg a day for a month & will she how its goes.
I wanted this accutane journey to end quickly but it will be long I guess
