I've been on isotretenin medication three times for periods of 3-6 months over 5 years. yet i still develop severe acne after they wear off.you help?

Keep doing it: I'd urge you to continue until you no longer need it. Eventually this time will come. Until your acne can be managed by oral antibiotics instead, or until your dermatologist determines it is inappropriate, you will be doing both yourself and those around you a favor by keeping this cycle up, even though it is not pleasant or easy.
