hi there,
I tried zoloft for three weeks. Over the course of the three weeks, my skin started getting dry and rashy...by the end of the third week, I had red blotches all over me (not classic HIVES, but more like eczema). I don't have evidence to back this up, but my guess is that it is screwing with the liver. If you really need zoloft and continue to have the acne, ask your doctor to have your liver enzymes checked to look for possible problems.
Also, when we start meds, sometimes we touch our faces more, or change our hygiene habits. Try to be aware of how often you cleanse your skin, whether you have changed soaps, or whether you have developed a craving for a new food that might trigger acne. Good Luck! Let us know how it goes...
