Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hello everyone, Interesting development at the dermatologist's office the other day: After telling the derm that I am on zoloft, he informed that he has seen a lot of people develop skin problems from taking zoloft and prozac and other SSRI's. After looking at my face, he also sid that he " had a feeling that it has something to do with the zoloft. " Afterwards, I looked up zoloft in a PDR and discovered that " skin rash " and acne are side effects of the drug. So, I have decided that I am going to start weening myself off of the drug very slowly (over the next few months) to see if this possibly is the cause of my rosacea. Luckily, I only take 50 mg so I don't think that I will have a great deal of trouble getting off. I definitely feel that any benefit that the drug has had is being offset if in fact it is also causing my skin problems (which cause me a great deal of stress and anguish). I definitely am not saying that if you take zoloft you should stop, as I know the drug has helped millions of people drastically. However, I have made the decision that I want to see if this possibly is the cause of my rosacea. Any opinions???????? -Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
