Marktran,
glad to see you at the psychology board. I feel like it will get better. I know that with my son, he is getting off of accutane in about 3-4 days it always takes awhile for the effects to go away when he has stopped for vacations and such. WHen he goes off of it, he is to start another medication for his skin and his dermo told him to wait a month for the full effects of accutane to be gone before starting the new meds.
Hope this helps. She, his dermo, seemed to think it took a month for the accutane to completely leave the system.
I don't think it will take forever, just time for your liver to process it all out of your system. Drink water to help the flush.
