First month done

Context, I’m 6’6” 275lbs (no I’m not fat!).

Started Accutane at 40mg daily for the first month. Only experienced very minor dry lips. Haven’t had any new pimples or breakouts really and acne is noticeably subsiding.

Had an appointment today and doc wants to up my dose to 80mg daily. I know this is normal. But to me, if 40mg is working fine with no side effects, why would I increase the dose? Doc did say that I need to get between 14,000-18,00 total dose, which I understand. But I’ll get there eventually at 40mg daily.

Anyone who had this same experience, what did you do? I’m leaning more towards sticking at 40mg daily.

Thanks!
