I had the same problem on Lithium, and know of a few others too here at PC. So either your pdoc is an idiot or he's bullshytting you.

Since quitting it, I no longer get backne but my face has never returned to being clear and its been 2years. I still suffer from breakouts. Idk how or why this is, but somehow my skin is now prone to zits and I'm not impressed by going through puberty when I'm nearly 30, especially since puberty never even affected my skin!

My sister has offered to give me a detoxing facial next week "on the house", so I'm hoping it helps. I'm sick of applying zit killer every few hours on an almost daily basis.
