about to start 5th month

[jonfla 0]

I am in my last week of my 4th month on Claravis/Sortet, and although I saw improvement the first few months, I still breakout, and I think my skin looks worse now than last month. I still have 2 cysts (one on each cheek), and I'm about to start my 5th and final month. My dermatologist said last month that my dosage will stay at 60mg next month, so I don't know if I should ask her to increase my dosage. Has anybody else experienced breakouts this late in the cycle?

My cycle:

1st month: 20mg Claravis

2nd month: 30mg Sortet

3rd month: 40mg Claravis

4th month: 60mg Sortet

5th month: 60mg Sortet

I was originally on a 5 month course, but my face was still breaking out after 80 mgs a day. So I got bumped back down to 60 mg and am in my 6th month ... and today i felt a new pimple coming up on my chin and i got a new one on monday too.

jonfla, many members have seen more improvement after the course. Hopefully this will be the case for you, too.

Hey i can completely level with you and what you're going through!! I'm into my 6th month and i'm still having annoying breakouts. Many people have said that for some people, accutane doesn't take it's full effect until AFTER your treatment. So this might be the case for you! Don't lose hope! I know it's hard!
