Accutane Without Presciption

Hey,
I just got accutane, I don't have a presciption (however I could get
one as my acne is bad) but my insurance doesn't cover acne so I have
to pay out of pocket. So I just bought the pills online. How do I
know how much to take? I weigh 185 pounds, i've read tons about
accutane and it seems people my weight are taking 40MG. How long do I
keep taking accutane for (until it goes away or the lenght of one
dose)? From what I understand all the blood tests check for are
triglycerides so couldn't I check for this on my own using a self-test
kit such as the one found at

Is there any info I'm missing or anything I should know?

Although I don't approve of taking such a dangerous drug without medical
supervision, take a look at this document:

At the least, try to visit a primary care physician to see if they can help
you. My derm did mention that in special circumstances, the fee for the
medicine can be waived (although, I didn't inquire more into this.)
