your old dermatologist is just being a conservative asshole and i would drop her asap. you shouldn't have to suffer just because she's old school. i believe that i took 40mgs for a couple of months. when i was on accutane, i did an m1t cycle and drank every weekend. also, the blood work results were nothing out of the norm for someone on accutane. as for side effects, i have a history of ***ression and my mood wasn't affected nor did i get any joint pain. dry lips was the biggest pain in the ass but i found that putting a generous amount of Aquaphor (like petroleum jelly) on my lips before bed left them moist all day. my only regret is not starting it earlier! when my child gets acne during puberty, i will save him/her the mental anguish and get accutane prescribed from the get go.
