I'm on day 5 of Accutane (isotretinoin) 40mg a day and my acne is the worst it's ever been! I suffer from sever nodular cystic acne that affects my whole face and my upper back and chest, I was wondering if i should stop taking the accurate or to let it run its course, even if that does mean having more severe acne for a while.

It's normal to have an IB when starting Accutane. Currently I'm on day 14 and still breaking out. Keep going.

It's totally going to be fine, I promise :) I'm on month 2 claravis 60 mg and I had 2 breakouts, face swelling, severe back pain, dry eyes, nose bleeding ( un related) dry month, tingling in hands and legs just aweful but my skin is sooooo much better than before. I started out on 30 mg. 

I deal with my symptoms by using eyes drops and nasal spray daily, otc pain med 3x day lots water/tea.

hope this helps!
