So, from my current 3rd month onwards, I am increased from 20mg/day to 30mg/day ( one 20mg pill + one 10mg pill). Not much difference in the past 2 weeks, but skin seems somewhat stable.

Hey, I'm 25, and currently taking 20mg of Accutane 3 times per week, the so called ultra low dose course. I already went on 4 full courses of Isotretinoin before, but my acne is persistent and always returned so after reading a lot of this stuff on internet and thinking better, i talked with my derm and she agreed to prescribe to me a low dose treatment for an indefinite time.
