In reply to wellbutrin and acne? long-term effects? (LONG), posted by dioxinsniffer on July 30, 2001, at 22:02:56
Hi everyone,
I'm from Holland, 34 years old female, and I had the same experience. Actually I've been on and off Wellbutrin a few times, and every time I use it I get terrible cystic acne. I hardly had any acne during my puberty and after that only a pimple or 2 when I was about to get my period. So I'm 100% sure it 'is' the Wellbutrin.
To be more specific: I think it is the heightened testosterone you get from it (through some intricate interaction with dopamine,sorry I forgot the names of the articles that support my theory)
This increase of testosterone does also the incredible increase of my libido I encountered on this med :-) This side-effect was very welcome of course.Bye y'all, greetings from Amsterdam!
