Prozac, for example, is one of the most popular antidepressants prescribed today. However, this drug can result in intense itching, hives, rashes, acne, and hair loss. Another popular antidepressant, Paxil, can also cause problems with your body’s ability to sweat. This can lead to overheating and sun stroke problems. On the other hand, Zoloft has been shown to increase sweating and to cause hot flashes in both men and women. Effexor also causes some of the problems listed above, as well as some of its own. Besides the sensitivity to light (sometimes referred to as photosensitivity), the drug can also cause brittle nails, bruising, and dry skin. Most of the antidepressants on the market combine some or all of these potential skin-related side effects. While many people may not be bothered by the problem, if you already have increased skin sensitivity you may be at greater risk. Always pay attention to the side effects of any medication.
