Have you tried other things? ACCUATANE would be my list ditch effort.

Do not use accutane. A friend of mine was on it and now has a huge lawsuit against the company. It fucked his whole shit up from Bleeding uslters and blood in his stool just to name a few things

I did 20mg a day for a few months and after it cleared went to 20mg eod. It is the only thing that cleared my cystic acne.

I am not male, but I used Accutane twice. I should have known better the first time. It actually made my breakouts worse. My male cousin did too. Now we both have chronic joint pain, I had my gallbladder removed due to Accutane, we both went through periods of IBS (that is awesome)... that's just the internal. I had so much long curly beautiful hair that I could barely put it in a ponytail holder... shit fell out like I was having chemo, my arm would sunburn on my drive home from work (a 5 min commute) and my lips and nose looked like they had been burned in a fire day after day after day.... honestly I don't know how it is still on the market.
I still have breakouts. One day my knee Dr. gave me a bottle of colloidal silver, told me to drink a TBL every morning (hold it under my tongue for 1 min & then swallow it), also put some in a spray bottle and spray it on my face each morning after you shower and each night before bed after you wash your face (or you back, wherever) -- also spray your pillowcase/sheets. I thought he was full of crap. Sure enough... it works! I just shipped a bottle to my bodybuilder friend, he has been using it for a week - working like a charm. My SIL same thing.
Personally, Accutane robbed me from any personal appearance self esteem (I am not ugly) I had for a few years and did no good, now I will have life long side effects. There are many other options. I would hate for you to regret your decision.

I'm sorry you had such a horrible experience. That sounds awful. What was your dose? How long we're you on it?

The first time I want to say 10 mg and that was for 6 months. I am 5'7" and was around 130-140 lbs then. The second time was 1 year later and I want to say it was the same dose, maybe he bumped me up a bit. I am a big water drinker too. Never less than 1 gal a day, if not 2. I never felt I could get hydrated. Obviously men and women are going to metabolize medication so differently and of course we have our hormones to deal with, but it I felt like I was cooking from the inside out. Plan on staying out of the sun 110% during treatment and about 6 months post. There have been a lot of studies on post reproduction. For women, forget it- birth defects are likely within years of taking it. For men they are linking it to other reproductive issues. Just something to consider.
I know what you are going through is painful in many ways, just do your research. I have a son, there is no way on earth he will ever take that drug.

Use doxycycline it's an antibiotic that clears up acne like a mofo makes you real sensitive to sunburn so be careful outside while you're on it totally safe other than that cures just about everything else from anthrax to Lyme disease to the bubonic plague too!

Thats the starnge thing about ACCUTANE,,,,some have zero issues other than mild,,,while some are so extreme they are hard to believe.
This stuff is really a cap shoot when it's all said and done.

I would avoid it at all cost a 2 week course of the anti biotic will clear up anything but the really bad then it takes a month
