Freewill, may I ask...Is your rash due to medication or to exposure to sunlight, or both?
I avoid the sun most of the time because I too have very fair skin. A trip to the beach...well... always gives me a rash, and so I haven't got there in many years. I've also had the blisters from sun exposure.
I don't know what to tell you or even what to think if this is due to medication!
I would add, though, that I am totally intolerant of heat, which I have learned recently is a side-effect of taking antidepressants. For two months now, I'm breaking my 40 mg. tabs of Paxil in half, and seem a bit better in the heat, hoping ot go off this medication totally ....eventually, though I know it will be a slow process.
