About a week after I started Wellbutrin, I noticed some skin irritation on my eyelids and around my lips. I had just started dating a new guy, and we spent a lot of time testing whether it could be his aftershave, his cats, his laundry soap, etc. I've been putting up with this weird face itching (and my legs seemed itchier than usual, too, though they are prone to dry skin) until I abruptly stopped the wellbutrin about three weeks ago when I broke my wrist. Amidst the misery of the wrist, I did notice that my lips and eyelids had stopped bothering me. Once I was off the pain meds, I started the Wellbutrin again and sure enough, the itching/tingling has returned with a vengeance. Now that I think I've pinpointed the cause, I'm going to stop the drug again and see if the itching goes away. I've also bean more headachey than usual and have noticed my stomach being queasy on occasion. I had increased the dosage from 150 to 300mg, but had to reduce it again because of frequent nausea.
