Hey there, sure I can let you know what worked for me. Just some set up- I've always had acne since a teen, now 30 years old (female), surface bumps, sure, but my the main bane of my existence was painful cystic acne. I'd always have a couple at various stages (since you know... you feel the big painful bumps coming in and it takes time to surface, then time to heal, so each one has a 2-4 week lifespan, ugh)

I've never used any prescription medication to address it, but I've tried any and all over the counter solutions. In the last year I found the following products that actually worked for me, hoping they might work for you but of course everyone is different:

  • LUSH Dark Angels Scrub - this really seemed to reduce the number of breakouts, not completely, but I did feel like I noticed some improvement. I use this 1-2 a week in the shower
  • Glossier Solution- I was always using toner, but this stuff changed my life. I noticed a flair up in small surface zits the first 2 weeks, almost like my skin was purging or something, but I hung in there and I have never had such clear skin in my life. I do get an occasional zit here or there, nothing like before though (usually around my period, not too uncommon). Again, not sure if this will work for everyone but it really changed the game for me. I use this every night before bed. Solution contains a particular 10% blend of three acid groups: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA), and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) -> you can google search for a dupe of this product, there's probably something with similar ingredients for less.
  • Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser - pretty cheap non-scented no frills cleaner. I use this with my Clairsonic after using the LUSH scrub in the shower
  • Clairsonic Brush - I got one of those vibrating brush doo-dads, you can certainly find cheaper alternatives, but this really helped me get that deeper clean.

    I'm locked into this routine because it's the only one that's ever worked for me. I know the Scrub and Solution toner can be a lil' pricey- I think you can request a sample of the scrub from a LUSH store for free. As for toner, before the Glossier one I was using this Nutrogena toner daily that sorta helped, better than nothing :)

    I think a reduction in dairy products has helped (which sucks cause I love cheese), as well as the increase in water.

    Good luck!!!

And on second thoughts...re-release thine books. You've got me to question my own excuses, to be honest, not that you don't have good reasons. There are of course reasons and excuses; one is found in the world of what is reasonable and the other in that which is excusable. That brings in to question the moral.

So in the words of Spike Milligan... a ditty.

It surprisingly gives you good sleep at night and lots of energy through the day. Read "magnesium miracle" by Carolyn Dean, specially the section on antidepressants. https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitality-Anti-Stress-Magnesium-Supplement/dp/B078KJLT6G/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=magnesium+miracle+natural&qid=1571084001&sr=8-7

Hey I take 15 drops of a sage tincture during the day:

Menosan 100 ml Sage Tincture https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002MSW15A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_svC6AbVF6RNCV

and then I take one of these before bed:

Sage Tablets (120 x 1200mg) – Natural Sage Leaf Tablets – Potent Menopause Relief Supplement – High In Rosmarinic Acid https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072XM44VG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AtC6AbT2B6HX2



I've also started taking my Lexapro at 1pm, I felt a little bit of insomnia the first day but it's been fine after that and when I have a night sweat now it happens at about 6-7am

Way too fast. Typically it's not a good idea to alternate the dosage when withdrawing from an SSRI as it puts your brain/body in a yoyo state of withdrawal. However, since everyone is different - the only way to know if alternating works is to try it yourself:

Before you start - get a pill cutter: https://www.amazon.com/Apex-Ultra-Pill-Cutter-Retracting/dp/B000EGKTGK .

  1. Once you have a pill cutter and assuming you have 10mg dosage size - Alternate 10mg / 5mg [cut 10mg in half] for a week, then take 5mg for at least 3 weeks and continue to take it until you feel mostly OK for at least an additional week [minimum time to take 5mg is 4 weeks].
  2. If you feel mostly ok, alternate 5mg/2.5mg [cut 5mg in half] and take it for a week, then take 2.5mg for at least 3 weeks and continue to take it until you feel mostly OK for at least 1 additional week.
  3. If you feel mostly ok, alternate 2.5mg/0mg for a week then stop. This is when the discontinuation side effects kick in and typically last 4-8 weeks. If at anytime the side effects are too brutal [keep you bed ridden], then only way to resolve side effects are to reinstate 2.5mg for ~3 weeks and then alternate 2.5/1.25 for a week, then take 1.25mg for at least 3 more weeks, then stop.

    The preferred method of tapering off:

  4. Drop down to 7.5mg and take it for at least 4 weeks.
  5. If you feel mostly ok after 4 weeks, dropped down to 5mg and take it for 4 weeks.
  6. If you feel mostly ok after 4 weeks, drop down to 2.5mg and take it for 4 weeks.
  7. if you feel mostly ok after 5 weeks, stop.
  8. If at anytime the side effects are too brutal, reinstate 2.5mg, take it for ~2 weeks, and reduce smaller amount 1.25mg for at least 4 weeks.
  9. Then try stopping.
