In reply to Zoloft = acne?, posted by crazyben on August 9, 2005, at 14:49:51
Welcome to these boards! :o)
Firstly I'm not as knowledgeable as some of the people here, and I haven't been on zoloft either (but I have tried prozac, effexor, celexa) but I do know that the acne could very well be made worse by the Zoloft. Have you tried using acne creams containing benzoyl peroxide? These are generally good at fighting acne - start with the 2.5% stuff and see how that goes.
The strange feelings you are experiencing are most likely to be related to the zoloft as well. Its a common sensation amongst SSRIs, although usually they occur in the withdrawal phase. I get used to get them really bad on effexor/celexa - its like my brain goes 'whhooosh' if i turn my head, or sometimes your eyes take a while to catch up with your head!! They feel kinda funny don't they! Anyway these 'brain zaps' might be a side effect and disappear once you have been on zoloft a while.
Good luck, and take care!
