Bumps?
by Jeanette, Aug 31, 2001 12:00AM
I haven't thought twice as to whether or not the bumps that I have recently developed are do to medication. However, these are little bumps, not pimples that are somewhat hard on the back of my hands, forearm and chest. Have you heard of such a side effect? I am a 19 year old female that is healthy. I am on 5mg of Paxil and 450mg of Wellbutrin SR. I was increased by 150mg of wellbutrin around a month ago. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeanette

I have not heard of that..usually more of a rash, but wouldn't rule out the possibility...varies a lot from person to person. ASk your doctor about decreasing the dose increase to see what happens.
