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.

I started taking it yesterday and within hours my lip went numb. Can anyone please let me know if this happened to them?
The more time that went by both my lips were kind of numb and by night time the tip of my tounge was too.
Since I just started I have only taken 1 100 mg tablet every day and I am supposed to switch to two next week. This is really bothering me because I don't see it as a side effect any where.

Took wellbutrin for about 1 year w/no side effects at all. Had
mild depression. Dr. took me off to see how I was. Symptoms
returned so he put me back on 150mg 2 times a day. Today
I had an allergic reaction with hives on my arms, hands, and
stomach. Also had some swelling of the lips. My husband took
me to the ER. Dr. said stop the wellbutrin and put me on
prednisone and benadryl for 5 days. Won't take it again. Had good luck with it, but must have became hypersensitive to it.
Hope to return to zoloft. It worked fine

Strange I started Wellbutrin 4 days ago and I've been noticing that my tongue and lips and face feel numb or sort of itchy at times. Been very irritable and emotional and cried a lot today over nothing. Sex drive is through the roof though with more intense orgasms, something that I could never achieve on Effexor. How long does it take to get a good idea of how well this stuff works?
