It sounds like an allergic reaction. They are common within relation to taking antidepressants. Remember wellubutrin is a mild stimulant. The reaction may subside after time. However, I think you made the right choice. I have a suggestion. For people that have reactions a good med is remeron. However, it is weight gaining and at the beginning treatment should be taken at a low low dosage. If you are augmenting you can take it with an ssri. This is a highly successful treatment. Now, for the weight gain you can take a supplement called L- carnitine. In the beginning you should take about 250 mg a day for the first week. Then build up to 500 for the second. After this, hopefully you body will adjust. Following the next few weeks, depending on how you react to the l-carnitine you can move up to about 1000 mg a day. It will not have any adverse reactions with the meds. I can account for this myself. I take 40 mg of paxil in the morning and 15 mg of remeron at night. I also take between 500 and 1000 mg of L- carnitine at about midday everyday. This is keeping the weight gain from the remeron off. Ihope this helps. good luck in all your endeavours.
