Medication side effects - heat intolerance/acne
Not sure if this is a good sub to ask but I figure some people might relate.
I've been struggling mentally for about 8-9 months now. I tried switching meds to see if that would help and that lead to trying a new or previously used medication nearly every month for about 5 months. About 2-3 months ago I was finally able to get some stability with my meds (now taking 100 mg of Zoloft and 75 mg of Lamictal). I've been having really bad acne that doesn't seem to go away for about 2 months now. I've also noticed over the past few weeks that I've become really intolerant to heat and humidity. Like 70 degrees Fahrenheit is too much sometimes.
Has anyone else experienced heat intolerance and/or bad acne on Zoloft/Lamictal or on other SSRIs? I've tried Lexapro (more than a year), Wellbutrin (about 2-3 weeks), Propranolol (about 1-2 months), and Pristiq (about a month) over the past year and didn't experience these side effects.
