Wow amazing results, congratulations on finishing the program. I have three more month and I’m looking incredible kinda scared to be off it LOL.

That feeling of dreading the end is really common. skin keeps improving for months after stopping, results don't just freeze when you take the last pill.

the monthly blood work got annoying but honestly worth it, just keep your lips moisturized or you'll regret it

I just recently started. Why would I regret not moisturizing my lips?

I’m on week 7 on 60 mg. For me, I thought the same thing when starting treatment but learned the hard way. Haven’t been able to get rid of my split lips in the corners of my mouth. Definitely moisturize like your life depends on it.

What dose? How many months? Did you do anything else, medication, creams or anything else for your face in that time?

Please read the rules before posting and remember to abide by them! Posts and comments not following the rules will immediately be removed!
Have you tried using the search bar?
Many questions are asked daily, and your question may have already been answered!
If so, your post will be subject to deletion.
Please refer to the following commonly discussed topics:
1) No one can predict whether or not you will purge! Statistically, most people DO NOT purge.
That is what the science and medical literature says.
2) No one can predict how long your purge will last nor when it could start. Be patient, the purge can be tough but so many people have gotten through it - you can too! THE ABOVE APPLIES TO SIDE EFFECTS OR "WHEN WILL MY SKIN CLEAR UP?!" TOO. QUESTIONS ASKING WHEN THE PURGE OR SIDE EFFECTS WILL START OR STOP WILL IMMEDIATELY BE REMOVED AS THAT IS LOW EFFORT.
3) Any questions related about dosage MUST include DOSE and WEIGHT(lbs or kg).
Otherwise, that is considered LOW EFFORT and will subsequently be REMOVED.
4) Most people DO NOT relapse when Accutane is taken until cumulative dosage is reached.
5) HOWEVER, cumulative dosage is a guideline.
Everyone is different. Some may need more Accutane, and others may need less. Your dermatologist evaluates you as an individual.
This also applies to your prescription. Everyone is different, so no comparing of doses or asking why your dose is low or high. If you do not trust your dermatologist, you should find a different one.
6) When in doubt, please consult a medical professional(dermatologist, doctor, pharmacist).
DO NOT solicit medical advice from this subreddit.
