Guest guest Posted April 29, 2002 Report Share Posted April 29, 2002 I think its pretty absurd to be on psyshiatric medications for a treatable skin condition.

Anxiety and depression will affect the quality of sleep, and will also result in a much higher stress level. Both stress and lack of sleep will be reflected in the condition of your skin, so one might counter-argue (nice word, eh?) that one hand you are on meds (Accutane) while on the other hand you keep feeding the problem by the anxiety and depression. I cannot speak on behalf of anyone else except myself, and I can say that depression robbed me of many hours of sleep. I would typically wake up around 3 am, toss for an hour, then, completely awake I would read for another hour until I felt sleepy again. I would then fall asleep only to get up at the regular time feeling like a zombie. It was hard to go through the day, I was always feeling tired and sleepy. Again, I don't know what are 's symptoms, but in general it makes sense to me. Alena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to the problem lies in fixing > the fixable skin. Did you try accutane 10 mg qod? There was one more thing that I wanted to mention. You are saying " psychiatric medication " and it sounds to me as if it was something to be ashamed of. (I do not know if that's what you meant - email communication can be misleading, so I apologize if it is only my impression). Depression, however, is a disease just like any other and is actually caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. (I believe the neuropath is damaged somewhere so that serotonin does not travel where it should but I can see Marjorie cracking a rib at this explanation so let's just stay with the chemical imbalance!). :-) So it is a condition that should needs to be treated, just like rosacea, or a broken leg. Just my two cents. Alena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 Good point. Though I would still advocate a trial of the 5mg/d accutane for 2 months + minocin 100 mg bid to see if the depression abates due to the rapid skin improvement. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: " doubleoh7_mi6 " > > > I think its pretty absurd to be on psyshiatric medications for a > > treatable skin condition.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2002 Report Share Posted May 1, 2002 , It was not me who made that comment. I wrote the response to that, which is below the initial three lines. Alena Re: Re: Wellbutrin SR and cea Alena, I don't know why you would think it is " absurd " to be taking anti-anxiety or antidepressants for this condition. I began to get me so depressed and irritable and anxious, I started having panic attacks and did not want to go out in public. So I would say that unless you feel this way, you should not be so strong in feelings about using these types of medications.
