I am a 15 year old girl who has been on Accutane for five weeks now. Recently, about two days ago I went back to the derm, and he told me everything was going well. He increased my dose from 40mg to 80mg. Do you think that is normal or am I just worrying because I feel like a 40mg increase is a big transition? Also, I am getting bad stomach cramps, could that be due to Accutane; should I stop using it?
It could be due to the accutane, I experienced some stomach cramps. Make sure you're eating it with a lot of fatty food though, which is essential for absorption (and should help lessen pain). However, IMO 80mg is wayyyy to high for someone your age, and even for most ppl. 40mg began really take its toll in my body. I wouldn't have finished the course on 80mg. If you can tolerate it then fine, but the second u can't, go back down to 40.
