I was on this medication for about 2 years but it helped me massively and I think it was mostly down to being consistent and having a strict routine when it came to taking the medication.
Apparently doxepin can help with stuff like that, too. It's technically a tricyclic antidepressant (one of the older, more potent classes of antidepressant - amitriptyline's a well-known one that's still prescribed a lot nowadays - that have a better chance of actually working) but what it does really is function as an extremely potent anti-histamine that can also help with hives and acne. That, Clearasil/CeraVee and Lumin could probably revitalise anyone's skin.
