I'm a 20 year old female, 5'8 and 130 pounds. I just started on 60 mg of accutane per day and was wondering if someone of my stature should be starting on such a high dosage? Will my side effects be more severe?

This is a higher dosage to start, how severe is your acne? There is the potential your side effects will be stronger since you are flooding your body with more isotretinoin.

Thanks for the reply! My acne is not severe or cystic, but I have been struggling with mild-moderate acne for about 6 or 7 years now! I'm nervous because Although it's only me second day on accutane, I've had a headache and neck stiffness all day. Hope it doesn't get worse!
