> I've had a bad breakout of acne (sists) on my back. I sweat a lot from one of my meds, but I'm not sure which one, Zoloft, Welbutrin,and Seroquel. I'm ruling out Seroquel and am dealing with the sweating but the acne is hard to control even since I've been treated by a dermatologist. If any one has any insight about this please let me know. Thanks
Hi,
I had this problem a few years ago. I would suggest a low dose of Tetracycline, maybe 250mg to 500mg per day. I am sure your dermatoligist would have no problem with this. The previous poster mentioned B. peroxide, this can work also as can Retin - A or a generic version called tretinoin. Again tetracycline fights a broad spectrum of infections which is what ultimately happens with acne. I suspect the sweating is caused mainly by Wellbutrin but can also be attributed to zolft. Good Luck
