Just curious if anyone else has had their derm do this. I am on my second month of accutane and yes my fourth round of accutane spanning over 12 years or so. I was on 40mg my first month. For my second month which I just started my derm has me taking 40mg and 80 mg ever other day. This is a first in all my rounds of accutane. I am wondering if my derm is gonna put me on 80mg in my third month which I think is pretty high. My other rounds I feel like my last month I was on 80mg a day. Sick and tired of being sick and tired of acne.
This is what I'm doing. I'm taking one 40 mg one day and 2 40 mg the next day. The reason for this is that 30 mg are much more expensive than 40 mg. Where I live, 60 40mg pills cost abou $400 and 60 30 mg pills cost about $700.
(I developed tinnitus yesterday morning, so imm probay going off of it anyway.)
Oh no! I don't want to jinx the only side effects I have gotten is being tired, and I usually have sore joints around 4th month. That makes sense about the 30 mg being too expensive I am sure that is why my derm is doing it. I sometimes wonder if the reason accutane never has staying power on me and the fact that I don't get the severe side effects llke some has to do with the effectiveness on me. Thank you for the reply and hope you don't have to go off of it.
