Are you sure you really maxed out at 10,200? also your max is 10500.

What daily dose was you taking and did you miss any days? did you ingest it with 20g+ of fat too?

Does it matter if I ingest it with fat or not, since when I first started isotret I ate it right after waking up, now I'm eating it right after eating dinner since chatgpt told me to eat it with fat and recommended me to eat it during eating, but I sometimes forget so I eat it 30min-2h after dinner

yes eating it with fat helps for digestion and absorption reasons

Then there's your answer, you obviously didn't hit 10 thousands and you may have not ingested enough fat.

Just take it right after eating, the food is still going to be in your stomach so it'll dissolve in fat regardless lol.

Also take it with breakfast not dinner, you're not tired after waking up and you're fresh off of rest so you won't forget whereas at dinner you probably just wanna eat and chill.

Also, you need to have minimum 20g fat with the meal so yes, the absorption increases 32% with fat.

You can't just take it after any dinner, you have to make sure you have at least 20g of fat, could literally just wake up and eat 60g of nuts in the morning then take accutane and it'll be fine.

Just had another appointment with the dermatologist today and she told me to stay at 5mg until after summer (I already started isotretinoin a month ago) and see if my acne gets better (she will most likely finish the treatment when she sees that I have no acne on my face). She also told me since I’m not a 15 yo teenager (I’m 20) with a lot of acne I might don’t need to reach the max limit of 120-150mg/kg. Do you think that I should listen to her since she’s a professional or find another source for isotret?

It might sound ironic or retarded of some random internet aspie telling you not to listen to a dermatologist, but for safety I'd still hit the cumulative dose. You want to be sure it never comes back because it's a pain in the ass if it does.

What she said isn't completely false though, it holds some truth to it, as a teenager your face is much more oily and prone to acne so when you finish puberty it simmers down a bit.

I'd still hit 150mg regardless because this doesn't guarantee you won't get it back just because you're an "adult"
