I am on my second course of Murad Acne Complex. I weigh 148 lbs. (67 kg).Course 1:September-November 2007: 20 mg/dayDecember-March 2008: 40 mg/dayCourse 2:June 2009-: 20 mg/day.

Hi,hmmm...your third course is 80mg a day...was your first and second course 80mg a day too?hmmm....

I am on my second course and I weigh about 120First course - June to October 2006, 50mg a daySecond course - June to October 2009, 50mg a dayIt's weird that I had to take it exactly three years later, hopefully I won't have to go on it again in three years from now. I am finding that the side effects are worse this time, my lips got dry very quickly and I've been having some really bad headaches and stomach pain. Has anyone else found it is harder the second time?.

I'm 142 lbs.Course 1: Roughly 5-6 months, 40 mg/dayCourse 2: 4.5 months, 60 mg/dayI'm finishing up my second course in just over a week. I'm mostly clear, but the red marks and scarring are much more of an issue than they were for the first course.I think I'm tolerating the second course better than the first one, namely because I found that Aquaphor deals with the dry lips problem exceptionally well. I wish I had discovered that during my first course. Also, this time around I actually make it a point to moisturize daily, which probably helps a lot as well..

Hmmm...now I'm starting to think that...if you go on a higher cum. dosage/higher daily dosage for a longer period of time,the chance of a 'relapse' is lower...hmmmJTT85,I weigh a few kg less than you,and I'm on 100mg a day,just curious if you're happy with the low dose course?.
