Went back and saw the dermatologist on Wednesday of this week. Since dropping the dose down to 20mg after last week's awful week, I have felt much better and slowly feel like myself again.
Dermatologist said that dropping the dose was completely the right thing to do. She was very thorough discussing exactly what symptoms I had etc and decided as a precaution to give me a small "break" by taking a 20mg dose every other day for a week. So not completely stopping the drug but simply reducing the dose to allow my body time to recover. After the week I'm to start taking 20mg again daily. She said that this might mean that the treatment goes on longer but not to worry as this is quite common.
Felt much more positive after seeing her and that she agrees, and despite everything that I get to stay on the drug as she believes that the improvement is brilliant from when I started - still some acne on the sides of my cheeks though and scarring.
