serotonin and acne?

Posted by CareBear04 on May 17, 2009, at 1:22:05

Hi everyone--

Does anyone know if there is a connection between serotonin (SSRIs, especially) and acne? For most of my life, I've been lucky enough not to have skin problems, but I'm having them now, which is very concerning. I started Luvox approximately six weeks ago, and almost right away, I started breaking out. I hoped this problem would go away, but it hasn't. It didn't seem to get worse when I increased from 25 to 50mg, but it certainly hasn't gotten better. The only other time I've had anything resembling acne was some years ago when I started Zoloft. I ended up seeing a dermatologist and was prescribed, I think, a topical antibiotic and Retin-A micro, which helped. I've been so busy that I haven't thought about seeing a dr. about the acne, but I'm wondering whether i should. I'm embarrassed about it, though, and I hate to call attention to the problem.

Anyone have experiences or advice?

Thanks much!
CB
