effexor and painful acne

by painful acne, Apr 11, 2007 12:00AM

Tags: acne, eczema, psoriasis, years

I have been taking effexor for nearly a year and since taking it, I have been experiencing almost constant acne on my chin area. They are very red, sometimes sore and itchy... and last FOREVER. When one goes, another appears. they are very unsightly! Is it medication related?

I am not sure the answer to your question. I am not a doctor by any means! I struggled with acne throughout my teenage years, into my adult years. I did Accutane twice. I still have to be very careful with washing my face every night and taking good care of my skin (sitting here with a Proactiv mask on now!) I was on Effexor for two years, but never saw a correlation with breakouts. Honestly, Proactiv has been great in controlling my acne. Maybe you should give it a try! Just a thought...this is the first post from the "Acne" forum I have read.
