I have the same thing!! Just started the med 10 days ago. Welts and rashes on my stomach under and around my biceps and down my thighs. Went to the dermatologist this am. Confirmed it was cause by something I ingested (probably wellbutrin) I am bummed because I had NO side effects for the first 10 days.
After I posted this, the very next day both of his eyes were swollen and his lips even more swollen than the day before. He could barely speak. It scared me. Fortunately we found a clinic 10 miles from our vacation house and he received a steroid shot and a pack of pills that contained steroids. He soon started to feel better with his rash and welts slowly going away. He itched and had a few complications for a couple of more days, but is now back to normal. Stop taking the medication. I read on here that a lot of doctors did not think it was the Welbutrin and the clinic we went to, the PA said it was, but the doctor disagreed. We KNOW it was and since he was only taking it a couple of weeks, stopping the medication immediately for him had no adverse side effects other than moodiness. But that could have been from the steroids, too. I hope you get better soon. I know it is not fun. Did the dermatologist give you anything for yours?
