In reply to has wellbutrin given anyone else a rash?, posted by sandra on March 21, 2000, at 8:03:14
> hi,
>
> i just started taking wellbutrin about 11 days ago, and for the first week, i was taking 150mg a day, then starting the second week, my doc upped the dosage to 300mg a day. for the past 4 days, my hands have been shaking uncontrollably (they were extremely steady before) and yesterday i developed this awful rash that makes me itch all over, and it's actually even worse today. the rash consists of red spots all over, even on my palms! my doctor says that it's probably not due to the wellbutrin, as i only now developed this rash, but i don't know. this is the first anti-depressant i've ever been on and i'm not sure how to track my progress, reactions, etc.

> sandraSandra, I have tried taking WellbutrinSR twice and both times I had an allergic reaction. This was in the form of a hive-like rash ( small irregular shaped raised spots) with intense itching. This started on the tenth day of taking 100 mg per day. I discontinued the WellbutrinSR and used benadryl. It disappeared completely in about 2 days. A.
