Hey there Ed!
Well a dermatlogist would be good. Funny that, the GP I was supposed to be seeing today has an 'specialism' in dermatlogy apparently. Unfortunately, the health centre messed my appointment up and I didn't get to see him. Still, no idea if he would have had a clue anyway.
The GP just said to ring up the pdoc's office, which I was going to do anyway.
I also asked a pharmacist on the way home, and she was pretty useless.
I rang the pdoc's office and the pdoc rang back. He was pretty clueless too, although he is going to check with the pharmacy department to see if they have any case studies on file. I didn't know they did this sort of thing! He thinks one possibility is to reintroduce it and it might not come back. He's ringing back tomorrow.
Anyway the rash didn't itch at all and it was on either side of my knuckles and got steadily worse, starting to spread up my hand. And after stopping the med, it kept getting worse, but then stopped after two days. It was like small red spots dotted in the area around my knuckles.
Anyway, I got a similar reaction to wellbutrin/zyban, although that rash was on other body parts too, like my elbows and knees. I dunno if these locations correspond with nerve endings.
Could it be that my skin is reacting because of something dopamine related?? I mean, is it the dopamine receptors getting over stimulated (or something like that) or is it more of an allergy?
And if I am allergic to moclobemide, what actually is it that I'm allergic to? I guess the moclobemide molecule or a filler!! Well, its quite a surprise, because this will be the first thing I'm allergic to. I have no allergies, nothing. Oh well.
