remeron giving me severe acne

Posted by TriedEveryMedication on August 31, 2012, at 21:05:34

I've been taking remeron @ 45mg for a few weeks. Over the past week and 1/2 I've broken out all over below my waist. I have dozens of itchy cystic pimples on my legs and buttocks

I'm almost 100% certain this is from the remeron. I'm a little concerned. Will this go away as my body gets used to remeron?

I'm a little worried this could be something bad. I hope it doesn't turn into Stevens-johnson syndrome

See a good dermatologist I just had a scare and biopsied the rash and was eczema. Phillipa

I've heard that Remeron can cause an unusually strong craving for sweets. Have you been eating an unreasonable amount of chocolate bars?

well, it turned out to be something similar to Stevens-Johnson - Erythema Multiforme, most likely from the remeron.

Also ended up with a major crohn's flare up
