Me too!!! I thought I was going crazy from the itching. Could it be the chinese food, my detergent, AHHHHHHH!!!!! Finally, after a visit to the ER, some steroids and benadryl, I understand it was from the Wellbutrin. I have never been allergic to anything in my life and now this. Amazing how violently the body can react. Major rash/hives/itching on my arms, legs, hips, hands, neck, chin, feet, head, did i miss something....so just about everywhere. It just keeps popping up everywhere. I've been taking Wellbutrin for three weeks. 2 nights ago, the itching and rash started pretty bad under my arms and arm pits and my belt line on my hips. The welts are disgusting and get progressively worse. As the rash worsened, my skin became swollen and welts began appearing. In no time, the itching turned into burning. My skin was hot to the touch. The pain led me to the ER. As I read these entries, I wonder if it will really take 2 weeks for the itching etc..... to go away. So far, the steroids don't seem to be working but i am very impatient. I want the itching to stop. I do have to admit....my sex drive has diminished quite a bit since i've started taking Wellbutrin. Another side affect.....or you can say a positive result was my focus. I've never been this focused in my life. I guess it affects different people in different ways. I did have quite a bit of a reduction in appetite, especially during the day, but then I would pig out at night. And ate all the sweets at my house. There goes my stash of cookies and chocolate.
