I think I have vasculitis and that is why I went off fluoextine a couple of years ago as it is a known unusual reaction. I had a similar reaction to low dose Zoloft. I am so desperate to get a lift in serotonin that I am prepared to put up with a small number of hive but I am worried about the big ones which turn into sores

> GerriGerri,
Someone here has requested that you ask your doctor to give you a drug called Remeron. Now if Prozac could induce SJS, could not other psychotropic drugs have that potential as well?
You see, Remeron could also induce SJS. And other life-ruining conditions also.
Now here is the warning from the FDA
