No way to know for sure but...
Remeron increases male hormones primarily
noradrenaline. Personally I think it's more
likely to help men than women in most cases.
I'm not surprised if it did cause acne.I'm a male who get acne if I take too much
dopaminergic + noradrenergic medication, but
then again at those doses I'd be up all night.
Also gives me hair loss.Is your depression effecively treated? If so
then maybe you could just treat the acne with
antiobiotic or maybe accutatne.> Does anyone know of any anti-d medication that causes acne?
