This is not my first rodeo with accutane but it is my most memorable. I am almost 100 days in and i just took pictures and i have to say that i am super disappointed. My skin looks almost as bad as when i started. But anyway, my question to the forum is this:

 

Anyone else noticed improvement happen later in their course? When did you notice consistent improvement? I feel as if this cycle is never ending....sigh

Have you asked your derm about it? Could it be the topicals interfering? You're more than halfway through, so I imagine that when you are done and compare pictures, there should be a considerable difference! Good luck Sasch :)

Thanks Tim! I am not on any topicals and haven't been since July 1st 2012. I will speak to my derm because in all honesty, i am getting mega worried. If this doesn't work, i don't know where else to turn

 

what dosage are you on?

 

 

60 mg ...my weight fluctuates between 145-150 and i have been on this dose since the beginning of my course.

Hmm 60 mg is a decent dosage however you may need an increase! Some people do experience accutane kicking in at the start of the 5 month so really late on you might be one of them. I could put money on accutane working for you! do you have any progress pictures?

The two most popular months for significant improvements are the 2nd and 3rd, but it can vary before or after then. Hang in there because it's too soon to give up hope.
