I've been using 40mg Accutane for two months, and my face is mostly clear now. I had moderate acne before Accutane. Is it okay to just stop using it at this point? Will the acne come back if I stop midway?

I just find the cost and side effects of Accutane to be irritating.

You can stop Accutane midway, but the chances of relapse are a bit higher. Although, if your acne does relapse, it most likely won't come back as severe as it did before, and it will also probably be more receptive to treatments that you tried before in the past but didn't have much success with. However, if you do stop make sure to tell your dermatologist and get your blood work checked again just to make sure anything isn't where it should be.
