Why not take 10 or 20 a day, if you think drugs work that way.
I'd suggest sticking to the doctors prescription, they take a lot of schooling to learn how to work these drugs correctly.

This should be a question for your doctor.
If it's not working, tell her or him, they might have some other idea, or figure out whether it's ok to increase the dose.
It's a really bad idea to experiment with the dose, yourself, it can really mess up your period and stuff. One of our friends had bleeding that lasted months before the doctor adjusted her prescription.

no - don't double dose - go back to your doctor and let him know they're not working as expected - you never want to take any stronger dose than necessary - it has longer term impacts on your body.

you SHOULD NOT take birth control pills because of acnes, there are other ways to treat your acnes.
see a dermatologist.
