Yeah - I am still dry. I get really dry when I get stressed out, my lips and skin on my body then it gets better when I am less stressed.   I am 5 months post Accutane, so hoping I get some mois...

Just out of curiosity...how often (on average) is everyone here flushing and how long are your flushes?   I would say I am flushing 1-3 times per day, usually lasting from 20 mins to sometimes an...

I feel we are all dealing with high levels of anxiety and stress, probably even some depression and these, when felt for prolonged periods of time can take a terrible toll on the body and exacerbate m...

Well, I don't think we are particularly playing the victim so to speak...I think we are just relating to each other and bouncing thoughts and treatment options off one another for both insight and exp...

Hey soul   I actually talked with a doctor about this... he said that it is possible to eventually ween off of a medication after a long period of time being flush free for you to then stay flus...

Lamarr, Chase and others who have used meds to treat flushing...   This is probably a stupid question, but is it possible that using things like Clonidie, Remeron, Propranolol could cure or impro...

Thanks for the comments and info guys.   Lamarr, that is really interesting information about the Clonidine, I did not know that. I will look into Moxonidine as well. What dose of the Remeron a...

Oh yeah, Seattle JT, I was going to ask you how long it took from when you stopped Minocycline before you noticed a difference in your flushing?

Hey all, some good news and bad news.   The good news - Remeron has worked very well for my flushing...not only that but I sleep pretty much through the night and am a lot more happier in general...

LAMARR, you are a crazy fool. I love you, but u are crazy. Just thought id say that, dont know why though. we should chat sometime tho on skype. And get yourself a head set...i got a webcam now, s...

Well, I for one can say that stress is a MAJOR contributor if not the main cause of my flushing. Whenever I am stressed or had a stressful day the flushing/redness is worse. If I am stress free and ...

Hey soul I am glad to hear that you are having some success with remeron, I hope you continue to see improvement. I am curious to know what you mean about sometimes not knowing that you are flushed. ...

Hey all, here is my 1 week update on Remeron...   I am knocking LOUDLY on wood as I type this because I have already seen some improvement.   Pros - less intense flushing (I do not get that ...

Think it is to early for reduction in anxiety, but i will keep a look out.   My eyes (ocular rosacea) are without a doubt improved... I am wondering if the milk thistle i take is causing my 15mg ...

Yeah i have read and been told the same but i have managed to cut the grass, go into town and workout so i am handling it pretty well. I have just been having plenty of fresh green tea for caffine.......

Clonidine every 7 hours, and i will be taking the remeron about 45 mins before bed whenever i choose it to be. So there is only about an hour or two between the last clonidine dose and the remeron... ...

Took my first dose about 24 hrs ago, if i continue to get the same effects i am getting today i will be very very happy. I know it is way to early though and for some reason my body sometimes seems to...

Hey soul,   The dose Dr Chu starts you on is 15mg, if you cannot tolerate the side effects at 15 mg he will raise the dose to 30mg. After 30 mg if you can't tollerate the sedative side effects t...

That last post is good soul!! makes sense....GLA is gamma linoic acid. My dryness did the same as yours (and i wasn't on any drugs at the time), didn't touch anything until about 7 months post tane. D...

I also came across the below info that i though might be useful for anyone considering antidepressants:   Quote:   Acute alterations in sympathetic nerve and hormonal activity: Depression a...

I actually think i am one of the most unlucky people alive.... Big fuck up on the part of the laser clinic i have just visited.... Some guy with the same first name as me had an appointment at a simil...

Lamarr, sorry to hear that - that sucks, I thought you were doing pretty good these days. I am surprised and disappointed to hear that the dr. says it sometimes never goes away...from the various pos...
