In reply to WELLBUTRIN AND ITCHING- ANYBODY???, posted by mellymel_d on September 23, 2005, at 1:01:45
> I\'ve been on the wellbutrin about 3 weeks now (still no success with it) however, I\'m trying to be patient and wait it out. BUT the last couple of nights I\'ve had BAD itching all over, no rash, a couple of bumps that kinda look like pimples but nothing major except the itching...Has anybody experienced this? Is it an allergic reaction so late? Will it go away?

> Man, I really didn\'t need another thing to fixate over. It\'s bad enough I\'m not feeling any relief yet. Now I\'m anxious over this and even more depressed that all of these things keep happening. It\'s like one thing after another and another... :-(Call your dr. as soon as possible. I experienced the same thing while on a generic wellbutrin. I started taking 100mg a day for two weeks with no problem. Then the pdoc upped the dose to two 150mg pills a day (300 mg total). I began noticing itching between my toes and finger. Then it developed into full blown hives all over my body. I stopped immeadiately (on dr. orders) and began taking benadryl and clariton for the hives. They lasted for two weeks even after I discontinued. By the way...When my dose was upped to the 150mg pills the generic pill was called Budeprion made by TEV labs. This was a different brand than the 100 mg buproprion pills. My doc thinks I\'m allergic to buproprion. My pharmacist thinks I\'m allergic to a filler in the gereric budeprion. Either way, I can\'t risk taking it anymore. You should stop until you speak with your doc.
