Acné!!!

[[Buddie]]

Hello, I wanted to ask you about acne. Has anyone recovered from acne on the face? I understand that if you don't get enough sleep, your skin doesn't recover and it causes acne.

Have you had problems with acne in the past?  Are you currently withdrawing from a benzo?

If I had acne in the past. I was in treatment with isotretinoin, and this medicine caused me intestinal pain, for which my doctor prescribed me a medicine with trimebutine and bromazepam. I finished my isotretinoin treatment and continued to take the bowel medicine and then went cold turkey and went into bromazepam withdrawal. (Then I took bromazepam again, I went to clonazepam 35 days I think and took 5 days xanax)

 I suspect that withdrawal causes cortisol surges and hormonal problems, but I also suspect that insomnia is also causing acne and not being able to sleep, my skin is not regenerating, which is the reason why my acne spots do not disappear. It is what I suspect, perhaps this is not true.

I just turned 15 months without benzodiazepines and I'm in waves and small windows, I still can't get 8 hours of deep sleep, nor 7, nor 6. I think the most I can get is 5:30 hours of deep sleep in my small windows.
I also stopped having muscle spasms.

Oh my, you do have a complicated history with benzo's, thanks for filling out your signature. 

We've had many members talk about cortisol issues while withdrawing and recovering from benzo's, especially in the morning so I'm sure you're on to something there and if we're not getting restorative sleep, everything suffers.  But members have mentioned that on recovery, pretty much everything goes back to your normal, at least that's what happened with me.

I'm thankful you stopped having the muscle spasms.

I faced the problem of acne when I took Cortisol. It turned out that this medication causes increased oil production in your skin glands, which can lead to clogged pores and acne breakouts.

I had the post benzo acne and it went away within the first three months. Now I get a pimple here or there but nothing major. I got facials and that helped.

I always struggled with acne as a teenager. Later, when I finally got rid of them because I grew up, it appeared again. I even couldn't imagine that it can be caused by so different factors, like sides from meds, for example. As for me, Arazlo (Tazarotene from Canada Pharmacy) helps me. Of course, the best is to follow a healthy diet, avoid any food triggers, and use cosmetics every day to moisturize the skin and prevent the appearance of acne.

I had a lot of acne and I recently got rid of it. I started sleeping better, eating right and taking care of my face
