Meri,
Thanks for sharing! It's good to know yours went away fairly quickly. I hope mine does too. But it's day 4 without the drug and it's only slightly less horrible looking than when it started. I read someone's story online who had a similar problem and it took weeks for the rash to heal and nearly 8 mos or so for her skin color to be completely back to normal. Yikes! I am going to be so much more judicious now about taking new/multiple meds.I did a google search on Wellbutrin rash and found a lot of postings from people who got one and also some medical journal articles about it. Some articles seem to say it's the drug itself. I've also seen some that speculate it could be an allergy to the dye or to the sustained release component of the drug. Some people are getting a rash that is not anaphylactic reaction or Stevens Johnson, but it is still a serious form of Erythema Multiforme (sp?) which can affect you internally.
