I have just started 3rd month of my accutane course at 30mg.
1st month was at 10mg and the 2nd month at 20mg.
My face has gotten less oily and i have less acne than before. But last week my huge cystic acne came back again.
I weigh 78 kg so i was wondering if this dosage might not be effective for me.
If you google research it does appear that low dose can be as effective as high dose for clearing you, and it does so without the side effects....may just take longer to get to the clearance
And you should stay on it longer to get to the same cumulative dose.
I think you are wise to stay with a lower dose, side effects from the higher dose are nasty
You're dosage does seem abit low, in the UK I was told they usually start at 0.5mg of isotretinoin per kg of body weight. So even at 40mg it's still a low dosage. I started at 35mg then increased every month to 75mg in month 5. I'm sure dermatologist just guesstimate dosages...
