Imitrex Side Effect? Feeling Like A Teenager

So I thought it was the (massive) doses of predinisone that were making me break out. At least that's what I attributed it to. But I've been off the pred for over 2 weeks now and I've still got acne worse than I ever had it when I was a kid. Like blind-people-could-read-my-back-bad.
I'm guessing this might be from continued use of imitrex, but can't sem to find anything confirming my theory.
Thoughts? Anyone else?

Hmmmm, I wouldn't think so. I was taking massive amounts of trex for a couple of months and never had any problem. However, the prednisone did make me break out quite badly and I didn't quite get over it completely for about a month afterwards. Perhaps it just takes some time for the pred to work its way completely out of your system.

I get the really bad acne when I go off the prednisone too, never on my face, always on my back. I used the trex for the first time this year and didn't experience the acne problem. Could be a 2nd coming of your puberty?
