accutane low dose?

[doittoit]

I'm currently on minocyclne (5 weeks) and its doin nothin and i dont think it will. So I've decided to do a run of accutane for 3-6 months depending on results. I was wondering if 20mg daily would be good, at least to start. My acne is very bad, but its only on my shoulders and upper back. Any experiences with lower dosages and results appreciated.

well im in week 2 of 40mg everyday, and it seems to work great. It broke me out bad for the first week, but now everything is clearing up and no new acne for 3 days!
sides are nothing, just a lil chapped lips. ......so far......

20mg is very low IMO. Start with 40mg and increase the dose if needed. I got some acne from Tren and ran accutane @ 60mg for three weeks and cleared up everything.

I got pink dry eyes after two weeks.

ALEX2 how severe was your acne? I'm suprised that it cleared everything up in 3 weeks considering it seems to be a slow acting drug? Maybe this gives me a bit of hope to get rid of this before my contest in 8 weeks!

My acne wasn't bad. Actually I expected some acne from Tren so I had Accutane in hand and started immediately when I noticed the acne.

I don't think it is "very slow" acting drug. I noticed chapped lips in a week and the acne broke out bad for the first week then it got better.

Eight weeks is long enough IMO. Just start immediately at 40mg and you should be fine.

[Alex2]

If your acne is too bad, start at 60mg and split it into two doses.
