Going on month 7
Hi all! I know everyone’s accutane journey is different. I guess I’m just looking for some validation here! I’ve been on accutane for 6 months going on my 7th. I started on 30 mg for 2 months and then increased to 40 mg. I’ve been on 40 since then. I weigh 108 lb (5’3”). My skin is definitely better but I’m still getting 2-3 active breakouts each month. I’m just finding myself very irritated because my wedding is in September and I’ve been up front with my derm since the beginning that I’m hoping to be done by the end of May latest. That likely won’t happen, so I’m shooting for the end of June. The mental side effects haven’t been great and I really don’t want to have to experience not feeling like me for my wedding (or engagement but here we are lol). Besides the wedding, has any one else had a similar experience? Did going up on your dose for the last few months help anyone clear some stubborn last breakouts? How do you stay sane and how do you not get discouraged when you have a “deadline” like a wedding? Thank you guys
