it worked great for about 5 months after the course was done, then all the acne came back.
How many times can you take accutane, are the results better the second time?

I know how it is. I've personally been on it 4 times. Each time I ended a session I would have no acne for about a year or so then it would come back. I've never had any of the scary side effects that the manufacture puts on the label so you probably shouldn't worry about taking it more than once. I'm not sure how many times you can take it but I'm sure you can take it many times before you need to stop. I finished my last dose about a year and a half ago and no acne to this day, not even one pimple. It's a great medication and helps improve your self-esteem. I hope this helps. Good luck!
PS. Each session extends the amount of time you are acne free. I would take it until you have the results you want. That's what I did. Good Luck once again!
