Yes ..and it's HORRIBLE.

I never had this problem in my youth and it started when I went on a ton of psych meds.

I was in my mid 20's and I got cystic acne and a lot of scarring.

I went to the doctor and tried all kinds of treatments.

Nothing worked for me until I eventually went off of some of the meds that I think caused the change in my chemistry (which I think was tofranil, and lithium to name a few)

What really helped me was going on the pill and proactive (yup that stuff that they sell on infomercials...jessica simpson etc., but I was using it long before she ever was I'm sure).. lol

I am 36 and I still use that and I'm on different pill now that has less estrogen in it for health reasons.

They tried to totally put me on just progesteron and my face went nuts again. It was awful.

I hope this helped.
