Christina ~ 1 Share Posted February 11, 2007 the only proven drug to increase acne is linked to manic depression. Depakote or Lithium are both linked to acne as one of their side effects.i've been on a bunch of SSRI's and currently take amphetamines and tranquillizers for my severe depression and i haven't noticed an increase at all. In fact i'm completely clear but thats due to minocycline and spirolactone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
