Is Accutane working for me?

So I've been on Absorbica Accutane for three months now and I do not see any clear results of my face clearing up, except for some blackheads that went away. It's been hard because my doctor upped my dose from 60mg a day to 70mg after the second month and for the upcoming month he's deciding to put me on a generic brand of accutane. I feel like the medication isn't working half the time, I just wanted to know if anyone else went through the same situation as me and could give feed back. Also, is there a difference in changing brands?

Sometimes it takes longer for your face to clear up, i cleared up at the end of 4th month

No worries

So taking a new brand won't change anything or give me a new IB?

No it's the exact same medicine, just different brand name
