Ive been on accutane 3 times. usually 6 month cycles. if its severe, maybe 80 mg per day. medium severity - 40 mgs per day. I took only 10 or 20 mgs a day for longer than six months. that was actually great because the sides were much less but my face didnt break out - it was like a maintenance cycle. you dont have to see a dermatologist, a regular doctor can prescribe it too. if you get on accutane, GOTTA WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!!!! or you will get fu**ed
yea seriously I had terrible TERRIBLE acne as a freshman...I took accutane during the end of the year and summer, didnt go out at all cuz it was a train wreck, but when I came back the next year it was a whole new world. I haven't had a breakout since coming off it and I owe all the layers of my dermis to that beautiful product. It is hard on you, but I think having perfect skin is much more rewarding...but that is because I am a vain peice of shit![]()
Exactly, you had better have some severe acne before a derm will prescribe that anymore.Originally Posted by justinandrews7
Don't self-prescribe accutane...that could be one of the stupidest things you could do to yourself.
