In reply to effexor and outbreak of acne like rashes, posted by babyface on January 10, 2002, at 10:54:39
I had the same rash with Effexor and got off of it thinking I was having some allergic reaction. Went on Zoloft instead, which eventually also gave me sporadic red blotches that were itchy and acne on my chest and back and along my jawline. I have been on Zoloft for 9 months and now the rash only comes a few days after I adjust the med up or down. Apparently it is not a dangerous allergic reaction, but there is nothing to make them go away. You just have to ride it out.
