ACCUTANE DOSAGES (GTFIH)

[a4dm]

I went to the derm last week and explained to her how I wanted to micro dose accutane because i dont want to have to deal with intense side effects. The derm however told me that doing a micro dose is "trendy" and recommends me to start with 40 mg (im 6'0 and 135 lbs 17 years old). Idk if my derm is retarted or if i should just listen to her and do the 40 mg. She said I'd be on it for 8-12 months at that dose and increase the dose overtime. My acne isnt even bad i have only 1 active pimple currently but many redspots and clogged pores. should i start off with 10 mg and increase to maybe 20-30 after a couple months or should i listen to my derm.

microdosing is dumb and a waste of time. I used 40mg first month and used like 80mg for the remaining of treatment. and low dosing u have a higher chance of ur acne coming back too.

Higher cumulative dosage = Less chance of rebound acne & permanent shrinkage of sebaceous glands leading to more long term effects

The derm said id be on it minimum 8-12 months thats whats concerning me the most. Definitely do not want to feel the side affects for essentially a whole year especially since my family members have had them really harshly. Also my acne isnt that bad.

Microdosing is acc such a waste of time just do 40 mg, it shouldn't be for 8-12 months tho you must've misheard him
