I took accutane for 5 months now,20mg every day, for a week now i had diarrhea and today i saw mucous like with little blood spots in my stool, what does that mean? i'm stressed.should i stop taking accutane now?

If you have taken the med for 5 months & this symptom is just now present I would not assume it is the med. Med reactions show up sooner. Diarrhea is most often due to a gut virus or food reaction. Regardless I would discuss your new symptom with your treating doc and follow their advise.
