Unexpected End To Accutane Use

So I went through 2 months of Accutane. First month- 40mg Second Month-30mg 2x a day with 10mg Prednisone.

My 7 day window ended without me realizing. My doctor called to let me know I would have to wait until next month to start my next month, out of frustration I decided to just end my treatment all together because Track starts next month and I have severe joint pain that I would not like to deal with during the season. I have no current cysts on my face, any a few small pimples along with the inflammation left from the past cysts. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced any consequences in ending their treatment early. Let me know please! Did your acne/cysts come back? Did you end up going back on accutane after a couple months off? Is 2 months enough?

I doubt 2 months is enough. It might keep you clear for a little while, but the higher the cumulative dose the better your chances are of remission. Being on it for 2 months won't give you nearly the recommended cumulative dose. You'll probably have to end up going back on it but good luck

I'm prepared for having to go back on it, but it will probably have to wait until around may. I guess more of the question is how bad will it be by then?
