Hi, I am on accutane, 60 Mg a day, tomorrow (Saturday), I will be done with my first month...but my pharmacy cannot get my pills til Monday, therefore I will be going a day and a half without accutane...I am very worried that it will stop working or mess it up or make me have a very bad breakout...(even though I haven't even seen results yet) can anyone tell me what's up??!?

Like the above post says it will be fine. Accutane builds up and stays in your system for a long time so missing a day wont hurt at all.

I'm really worried too because I'm in a similar situation, except I have to go a whole week and a half without taking it! Since my dermatologist is going on a Christmas vacation and won't be back until the middle of January, I guess I just have to deal with it. I'm almost done with my one month as well. Unfortunately, I'm still breaking out pretty bad. I got a new, horrendous cyst on my chin this morning in fact. I know they say the Accutane builds up in your system but since we've only been on it for a month, I'm scared I'll just relapse when I go back on it.

Let's hope not:(

Try to save some pills and take one every couple days until you can get more
