Accutane - how long...?

[jeffefrijoles]

I am quite acne prone, mostly during and after PCT. After doing last cycle with Deca, it hit me hard. I tried everything from antibiotics, to Sal Acid, to Ben Per cream, scrubs, you name it... and finally decided to turn to Accutane. For those of you who have used it, by your experience, how long did it take to fully kick in and clear up your skin, and what doseages did you run? I started with 40mgs/day for one week, dropped to 30mgs/day week 2 and then to 20mgs/week which is where I am half way through week three. I planned on staying at 20mgs until it clears up, and then stay on 10mgs as maintanance. I am getting the chapped lips and dry face as has been decribed by others, so i know its working, and have seen some clearing, just not as fast as I thought it would be. Please tell me about your experiences, how long you have ran it, did you do it before/during/after cycles, etc... And yes, I know the Chrones dangers and that it is hepatoxic. Thanks for all input!

i have used it twice in my life now, both were under a doc and at 20mg then 30mg. it worked took about two weeks, but here i am at 30 never cycled and still have acne on my back and some on my face.
im starting my first cycle soon and dread the acne side.

it doesnt work for everyone. I am on my 6th month of it. Have been doing 60 mg per day for the last two months. It has helped my acne only about 50 percent.
