In reply to Wellbutrin+itching.......PLEASE HELP ANYONE!, posted by Meri-Tuuli on October 4, 2005, at 5:59:37
No offence, but your doctor is not quite there. If your rash started once you began the Wellbutrin then you are allergic to it. He probably wants to see if it was the Wellbutrin. I say let him play guinea pig on someone else. I bet your chemist wouldn't advise you to try it again. Your reaction could be worse the next time you try the Wellbutrin.
Anyhow, that is my two cents. I hope it goes away soon. Try having a bath with baking soda in it. That should help. :-)

PS - how soon did the rash start after taking the Wellbutrin?
> I have stopped taking wellbutin because I got rashes and I couldn't stop itching all over. The doc advised that I should start up the wellbutrin again after a couple of weeks to allow the itching/rashes to go away completely.
>
> My question is - will these side effects (the itching and rashes) go away after awhile on the wellbutrin or are they there to stay?
>
> I really like wellbutrin, and I would hate to stop it. Also I'm in the UK, so getting wellbutrin in the first place was a mission and GPs here won't prescribe anything other than celexa, effexor or prozac.
