Started 5 Mg Of Valium And Now Have Acne
(Newest replies first)

Updated

Hi! Started on 5 mg of Valium about 3 days ago. Also, due to some strange side effects, my doctor has taken me off of Wellbutrin, which I only took for a week. Prior to that, I had taken Cymbalta 30 mg for about 3 years. Doc stopped it as it was no longer effective and a higher dose made me very ill. He wanted to clear the anti depressants out of my system and gave me Valium to stave off the withdrawals from the Cymbalta and the side effects of Wellbutrin. Anyway, now I have acne and haven't since I was a teenager. I am 51 yrs old.

Hi! Doing a bit better, thanks. My eating habits have gotten worse and I am gaining weight. Working to get that under control but... one thing at a time. Still have brain shocks from the Cymbalta. Thanks for your response. :)

Hello, Pandora! How are you?

This medication has been known to cause random skin reactions, according to the FDA, but there is also a chance the acne could be due to withdrawing from the other medications, or a combination of both.

Has there been any change? Has anything else changed in your lifestyle?
