Hey guys,

Just looking for some advice or maybe shared experiences.

Anyway I have been on Accutance for about 3 and a half months, all went well in that time pretty much, at the 3 month mark I started getting really dry and red eyes that irritated me alot, at this time my skin was pretty much completely better, I never really had bad acne I would say moderate though it irritated me alot and I would pick at it, oh and I have had back acne which is alot worse then my face for a long time, I forget about that part.

Anyway after the red eyes began i put up with it for awhile, after calling my derm who said I could stop for a week and see if my eyes got better (note: Been using eye drops ever since they started becoming dry), I ended up stopping for 3 weeks which brings me to now, which I started taking it again (2 days in). Eyes got a bit better while I was not taking it.

I really would like to stop taking it right now because of the side effects but im just worried about it coming back.

I have been going out drinking about once a week fairly heavily with friends (dont judge, I have had blood tests liver is fine) which I think may of contributed to eye dryness and redness, as it flares up the next day. I have holidays, friends parties and new years parties coming up and I would really like to drink with friends.

TL;DR Anyway has anyone had positive experiences of acne not returning after about 4 months.?

Dosage was

2 months 10mg

2 months 20mg (Currently just finishing)

2 months 40mg

Edit: Im thinking now im just going to stick it out and finish, maybe just not going to take it on the few days im on holidays
