Hi,
Thank you for your question.

This is going to take some time to research this list of possible medications and their side effects, as rosacea is not listed among the typical side effects for any of these drugs...so we will need to research more in-depth. It may be quicker to talk with a Pharmacist, who would have access to a complete listing of all medications including probably, and possible, side effects.

Do you have a Pharmacist you can talk with?
When are you going to your doctor's appointment?

As you know, there are broad category of antidepressant drugs, and within each of these categories are several different generic/brand name medications. There are also some newer antidepressants that do not fall into a category. The main categories are:
1. SSRI
2. MAOI
3. Tricyclic
4. SNRI

There are also tetracyclics and others. A drug that is newer, and does not fit into a category is buprion (Wellbutrin).

As I mentioned, credible sources of drug information online (National Institutes of Mental Health: Medications) provide lists of medications for depression, and their side effects. None of the side effects listed say rosacea, and some more in-depth research would need to be conducted.

Please let us know if you would like help in doing this research, and/or if you are able to ask a Pharmacist who could provide you with a complete list of all medications and side effects.
