If i stop taking isotretinoin for a week (acne treatment drug) will my skin get really bad?

I run out of tablets tomorrow, ive been taking the 40mg a day for 16 weeks now. My appointment with my doctor isn%26#039;t for another week though. Will my skin start getting really bad again while I await the next prescription?|||Call your dermatologist and explain the situation. He/she will likely be willing to squeeze you in and see you earlier (this week). Your skin will probably not get bad in that short of a period of time, no, but it%26#039;s best to stay on consistent, continuous therapy.|||Not likely in one week, but at 40 mg, you may have side effects when you start taking it again...
