"i started accutane late december, 2015. i was on it for 7 weeks 5 days when i had to temporally stop because my liver enzymes were elevated. at this point i was taking 60 mg per day. in regards to my acne, my skin was clearing beautifully! i&#039;m very happy with the results. however, i experienced side effects such as dry skin, dry lips, joint pain, headaches and trouble sleeping sometimes. within two weeks after stopping accutane, i did some blood work. my results showed that my liver enzymes were back to normal so my doctor advised me to start accutane again. i&#039;m currently taking 60 mg again everyday and i have roughly about 11 weeks more to go on accutane. i do get 1-2 pimples and a few blackheads but nothing cystic."
