Question about accutane (for people with really high iq)

[marlesip]

As far as I know, Accutane is taken for a few months to a year until the cumulative dose accumulates in the body (so I was told by dermatologists and so it is written in scientific literature), so that then the acne does not return with renewed vigour.

On this forum I often read about people microdosing Accutane. Does this make sense?

As far as I understand, if you microdose Accutane, the results will be only temporary (that is, they will be during the intake of Accutane and perhaps a little after the end of intake, because enough of it will not have time to accumulate in the body).

What is the point of microdosing Accutane?
Wouldn't it be better to just take it full strength?

microdosing is retarded just take 1mg/kg bodyweight for 6 months and call it a day

there is no point in microdosing. It does't do shit. Just go full strength.

as far as I checked full dosage is taken straight for about 7-12 months (depends on the daily dose). so how can it be 6 months microdose?

1mg/kg bodyweight is not microdose, its the prescribed dosage

i did it for 6 months never had a pimple again

Because micro-dosing over a long period can effectively negate a lot of side effects experienced from isotretinoin usage whilst still reaching your "cumulative dosage".

acne does not return with renewed vigour.

You are literally yourself implying here that acne can return despite reaching the theoretical cumulative dosage.

The evidence for/against cumulative dosages as opposed to taking it under whatever other regime is anecdotal, and it can be read that a cumulative dosage is too much for some and too little for others. So bothering with such a hypothetical is a waste of time.

Just fucking take isotretinoin cunt and if you get some acne, take it again.
Stop overcomplicating a simple concept by reviewing medical literature for an insanely mild drug. Stupid and unnecessary thread.

The need for a cumulative dose has long been confirmed. It is not the same for everyone as you think. It is calculated on an individual basis using height, weight, age, and duration of isotretinoin use.

Ok then you can safely assume people who microdose are 'idiots' and have no need to ask this question in the first place legend

less side effects

From experience just suffer for a bit, its worth it.
Make sure you moisturise while on the treatment it makes your skin fucking flake.
And messes with your mental state.
But just don't be a pussy.

So you think a cumulative dose is still necessary? Or what do you mean?

If I take Accutane in a microdose (10 mg per day for example) for 7 months, how long will the result last after I stop taking it?

for how long have you been taking it? and in what dose?

Sorry, my reply was misleading, I have never taken it but I know multiple people who have.
Most of them were on it for under a year.
But generally the time and dosage taken should be advised by a medical professional as everyone I know that has taken it followed dosage from their doctor and the results were very good.
