In reply to wellbutrin allergy, posted by Wayne on September 21, 1999, at 21:20:00
My god, it's not just me! Ack!
I didn't develop an allergy to wellbutrin, in fact I've never had an allergic reaction to anything, except for my therapist's cats! I had already been seeing her for two years. Her cats are of that Welsh or Cornish breed with the nappy fur (or hairless in spots), the extremely skin-and-bones body, and the HUGE eyes ... she got them particularly because very few people are allergic to them. Like I said, I hadn't had a problem with them for two years. I start taking Wellbutrin, then out of the blue one session, with D'Amati curled up on my chest, my eyes blur and swell and my nose starts running like its in the Kentucky Derby. We had to barricade the cats from her therapy room the entire time I was on Wellbutrin and several months after I stopped taking it ... the slightest brush on my hand, and then an errant wipe of an eye, and I was DONE IN.
A year later, D'Amati and Katinka are back fighting for real estate when I lie down on the couch. No problems.
Curiouser and curiouser...
