Neither are common: These are serious concerns, but neither acne nor amenorrhea are reported as common known side effects. You need to discuss it w/ your Dr and seek actual causes - they may be hormonal. The reason for the Rx may be important too. Try to reduce fear by facts and support. I hope you find answers and relief.
