No, i was on 20mg for a while and didn’t purge at all. When i upped it to 40mg i didn’t get any purging, but i got a lot of nosebleeds. Only side effect i got.

doesn't matter as long as it's taken after a meal or with high-fat foods. Take a scoop of peanut butter and then gulp that boy up. I prefer the morning so I don't forget in the evening. You're only taking 20mgs so you shouldn't stress too much.

Yes, many dermatologists recommend easing into Accutane (isotretinoin) by starting with a lower dose to minimize side effects like purging, dryness, and joint pain, rather than starting immediately at a high, weight-based dose. This gradual approach allows your body to adjust to the medication, which can prevent severe initial flares.

Why Ease Into Accutane?
Reduced Purging: Starting slow can reduce the chance of a severe acne flare-up (purge) during the first few weeks.
Manageable Side Effects: Lower doses, especially in the first month, make side effects like dry lips, dry skin, and joint pain easier to manage.
Individual Tolerance: Dermatologists often adjust dosages based on how your body responds and handles side effects.

How to Start
Typical Approach: A common, milder approach is to start with a lower dose for the first 4–8 weeks before increasing it.
Alternative Strategies: Some dermatologists might pair a lower initial dose with medications (like antihistamines or steroids) to further reduce initial inflammation.
Consistency is Key: Whether you start low or high, the goal is to reach a specific cumulative dosage to ensure long-term, clear skin.

Always follow the specific, step-by-step guidance provided by your dermatologist regarding dosage, as they will tailor the plan to your weight and acne severity.
