You don't state your age but it is not uncommon for women, particularly teenagers, to skip periods occasionally. If you are not sexually active, you don't have to worry that your birth control failed and you are pregnant (a risk with accutane).
Let your doctor know that you have missed your period in August but make sure you tell him that you have not had any sex. He needs to be aware that you skipped. However, if you have not had any sex, it is probably just a skipped period. It happens.

The recommended dosage range for Accutane is 0.5 to 1 milligram per 2.2 pounds of body weight, divided into 2 doses daily, for 15 to 20 weeks. For very severe cases, the doctor may increase the daily dose to as much as 2 milligrams per 2.2 pounds.
If after a period of 2 months or more off therapy, severe cystic acne persists, your doctor may prescribe a second course of therapy.
