In Reply to: If ACCUTANE Is discontinued and supposedly leaves your system why do side effects persist? n/m posted by sun on November 27, 2000 at 14:45:41:

I don't know.
Also, I was told that if I start a second treatment within two years of my first, it will work faster and better. That doesn't make much sense if it's completely out of your system.
I know a guy you did his second treatment 5 years later, and he said he had the same results as the first time, which leads me to think it stays with you for somewhere between 2-5 years.
