i had hives daily on wellbutrin, but my doc didn't believe it was related to the drug. i finally asked to be taken off of it and the hives went away.
i did some internet "research" and i found that people can react to the dye in the drug as well as the slow release compound. were you on slow release? you might want to try the regular before giving up.
i had to lice checks too. everytime i saw my mother, she would notice me itching my head and insist on a lice check. i felt like i was 6 years old again.
funny thing you should mention trazadone. i take that too, off and on. i don't think the two are related, but one really can't be sure. when i was on wellbutrin, i would take trazadone about twice a week. who knows, i never thought of the correlation.
i do know that wellbutrin's itching drove me out of my mind. i was experiencing heavy itching and welts.
good luck, chiaratara
> OK!! I started taking Wellbutrin last week, and I too have the itching!! Only I broke out in hives. My doc. took me off the wellbutrin, and advised me to take 100mg of Benadryl the antihistamine before bed. I'm also taking trazadone to help me sleep. Could there be some reaction b/w the trazadone and Wellbutrin. has anyone had hives? Do they go away after you body addjusts? I'd really like to give it another try, but don't want to itch my skin off! Any advise would be helpful! Thanks!
