Hi guys.
I'm starting accutane in a few days for my acne which mostly non-inflammatory but according to my doctor "moderate to severe", i'd say only moderate most of the time though.
Any way he's put me on the drug for three months which compared to other people stories on here I found quite short. So I asked him and he looked at me as if I was speaking another language and said i'd only need three months.
Which is fine, if it works in that space of time, but wouldn't that make my daily dosage huge to get my cumulative dosage?!?
Any advice appreciated!

Hmm yeah I'd agree with you, it usually seems to be between 5 and 7 months right?
I guess if you are not clear at the end of three months then your course can always be extended?
If you are really petite then I guess it would make sense that you could get to your appropriate cumulative dose in a short time.
Don't take it dude not worth it. I'm one of the people who took it and it completey ****** me up. I know what your thinking "it wouldnt happen to me" and trust me I was the same way. But slowly after stopping accutane Ive developed chronic fatigue, brain fog, sexual dysfunction and food intolerances. It's been 7 years since I took it and I'm still working on repairing my self. Looking back why the hell would take a chemo drug to cure acne. Roche the company who created accutane doesn't even know how it works. There's alot of different things to try like diet (cutting out dairy and gluten) and zinc for example. At least give those a try before considering accutane.
