Tiopronin and Stretchy skin?

Any one else on here who has ever taken or is still on Tiopronin had issues with it stretching your skin? I started taking it back in 2007 and came off it in 2014 due to it giving me some bad side affects (mainly mood swings and depression). Noticed ever since I started on it that my skin went really stretchy which is annoying! Would be nice to here from others who have used this drug.

Appreciate the feedback. How do you find Tiopronin in general?

I’m allergic to penicilllimine so I find it ok apart from the sulphite smell in my urine.

Yes I have noticed it ! I came off it because mainly because of that ! I went vegan for a year and then just watched my diet although now back to normal but always home made food and have been stone free for 2 years

Yeah same! My skin has been like it since and it’s really annoying! Home made everything is the key I think! Really seems to be doing the trick!
