xiled 0 Share Posted July 8, 2010 So it's been a long time since I've done a course of accutane. Probably about 5 years. I recently went to my GP and he's starting me off on 70mg/day for the first month. I think this is a pretty extreme initial dosage.. I remember starting off at 20mg/day then slowly moving up to 40mg then 70mg was my final dose for the last couple of months.I got my script today and got all my tablets in 10mg.. what do you guys think I should start off at? I don't want the initial breakout to be unbearable, you know?Any help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve32 0 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well what are initial doses for anyway? to see how you react on accutane? because I dont think its to ease you into extreme vitamin a overdose like accutane does, I think it's just incase your liver does have a problem for the first month and see how you react on the blood test to the doctors know if you get a bad reaction to it, and seeing how youve taken it before and it didnt clear you for that long, 70mg isnt much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jxr 0 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Like Steve32 said.70mg isn't much. Especially for a guy.I weigh 155 or so and I started at 80mg/day my first ever time taking accutane. Its just fine after 4 months nearly. Great results so far. Edited July 9, 2010 by Jxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
