When your derm increases your dosage, do you start to break out again?

I asked my derm that and she said the more severe the acne the worse the IB will be which sucks cuz I just got upped from 20 to 40 and got about 6-7 new zits in like 3 days , but everybody is different you might not get one.

Well, my derm told me to take 20mgs for my first two weeks and then switch to 40mgs after that. When I jumped from 20 to 40 I got a massive breakout. But that was a month ago, and I have been on the medication for about 45ish days and I have just been upped again to 60mg. I would really like to know if anyone has experienced another breakout from an upped dosage (even well into month 2) as well.

 

I will let you know if I break out on my new dose. So far I have had a couple new actives since Monday when I was upped, but nothing too unusual.

I was on 40 mg for 5 months then 60 mg for my 6 month and it did make me break out again, just when my skin was clear for a few weeks and looking the best it has looked in a long time.
