Accutane question? Help Please!!?

So I've been on Accutane for four months but my insurance won't cover it anymore and my dermatologist won't prescribe any. I have maybe 12 days worth of pills left. But it is really the only thing that has helped me. And I know that once I'm off it, my acne is jut going to come right back. So would it be better to stretch the pills out over a longer period of time such as taking one pill every three days then one pill a week? That way the medication remains in my system longer? I can't go back to creams and antibiotics because the problem is the sebaceous glands themselves and these do nothing but make my face irritated and oily.

Also, I could care less about potential side effects. It hasn't done anything to me yet.

    One simple step that works to keep acne away.

    Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) face pads help keep acne away by scrubbing open clogged pores, oily residues and exfoliation. Feel a pimple coming? Just wet a pad, place it on the pimple and remove it when dry. Sit back and watch pimple disappear. Works on body acne too.

    These pads also help reduce skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

    Try it and see the difference.
