In reply to Rash on breasts, side effect of WB XL???, posted by otrqt on October 25, 2003, at 9:30:46
> I've been on 300mg XL for 3 days (was 150mg for 1 wk prior) and am coming down from Effexor XR (currently on 37.5). Yesterday I noticed after working all day that my breasts were itchy. Didn't pay much attention to it, but today I noticed a slight red/rash on both breasts. My first thought was that it must be the bra, but it's not new, detergents the same.
> Ever heard of that being a side effect?I would be interestd in anyone's response to this as well...I was on Wellbutrin SR for a year. Got an itchy rash on the front of my lower leg, an area of about 1" x3".....stopped Wellbutrin in July and the rash is still there. I thought it was the wellbutrin that did it, because in the past when I have taken drugs that I am sensitive or allergic to, I get the itchy rash in the same spot (previously when I took sulfa antibiotics and a diuretic, so I stopped immediately with these drugs)....I liked how the Wellbutrin helped me, so I did not quit taking it for a year. Last month, I showed the rash to my doctor and he said, "no, it's not the Wellbutrin, it's a nervous rash" - (whatever THAT is!) and gave me samples of elidel to use on it 2x daily it has not helped...I am considering now going to the dermatologist with it - seems to me to be dermatitis. Interested in anything anyone can add about a rash from Wellbutrin, because I have found nothing to say it was caused by WB, but still I think it was! Janis
