itching and wellbutrin

by mol123, May 29, 2008 09:34PM
i've been on Wellbutrin for 2 years and have stopped taking it as my depressionm is under control. I slowly went off the medication.  As I was weaning off I noticed I began to itch on my head and then it became worse and now I'm itching all over my body.  i went to the dermatologist and they gave me a shot of cortisone and told me to take Benadryl  The itching has persisted and is keeping me up at night.  As I checked side affects for any medication I've been taking and I see the itching is a side affect of the drug, but everyone that has this condition has experienced the itching after they were on the Wellbutrin for awhile. Will my itching stop.  I feel great except for the itching.

I have been on Wellbutrin for about a month now (to help me quit smoking)
no bad dreams - no weight gain - everything was great ... then all of a sudden WHAM
my left ear itchs - then the left side of my neck, and the hair line ......
It is DRIVING me crazy - noxema helps - but it stinks - I just used Benidril (wrong spelling Im sure) but that only worked for a few minutes
