Pyramiding Accutane

I know you shouldn't pyramid aas or other drugs for that matter.

I am curious to know why my doctor had me pyramid accutane when I was on it back in HS 9 years ago. I started taking 1 20mg pill a day and worked my way up to 6 20 mg pills a day then slowly back down to 1. I have never heard of anyone doing this. Is this an old school way of taking accutane? It did work, but the sides sucked! :unsure:

bro thats something im worried about to...im starting a cycle of sust and they way i was planing it was doing 250 then work my way up to 500 a week then down 250 at the end again....
is that bad? everyone says take 250 eod., which im not planing on doing
soo which way would be better??

anyone else?
