My husband stopped WB XL about 2 months ago and the itching still has not ceased. I don't have any solutions but I am looking. Answer: When I started taking it I got a rash all over. I put some antihistamine cream like benadryl on the red patches were itching the worst and waited it out. The cream really helped, the patches where still red for over a week but eventually went away. It was an initial reaction to the Wellbutrin and every so often i still get a rash here and there but a treatable rash is better than being horribly depressed so I'm still taking Wellbutrin. Just don't scratch, that usually starts the rash or really makes a small itchy red patch become a huge one.

What happens if you take Benadryl and Wellbutrin together?

You might need a nap.  But Wellbutrin tends to increase energy while Benadryl causes drowsiness, so they might cancel each other out.  As a Wellbutrin user, I find that taking a 24 hour allergy medication before bed is sufficient.

Your son takes adderall for ADHD hes out of it he was prescribed Wellbutrin before adderrall can he take the Wellbutrin in place of the adderall until he gets his refill?

It's important to consult with your son's healthcare provider before making any changes to his medication regimen. Wellbutrin and Adderall serve different purposes; Wellbutrin is typically used for depression and can have some off-label use for ADHD, but it may not be as effective as Adderall for managing ADHD symptoms. In the meantime, ensure your son has support and coping strategies in place while waiting for his refill.

Can you drive havy vehicle while taking Wellbutrin?

Any time you take a psychoactive drug like Wellbutrin you will need to use caution before operating heavy machinery or driving a vehicle. Wellbutrin and other drugs can cause dizziness and/or drowsiness which may affect your ability to drive. You need to wait to see how the medicine affects you before you get behind the wheel. "Bupropion can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert."


What pain medicine can you take with Wellbutrin?

When taking Wellbutrin (bupropion), acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generally considered safe for pain relief. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen or naproxen, can also be used, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare provider before combining medications to avoid any potential interactions. Avoid using other medications that affect serotonin levels, as Wellbutrin has a unique mechanism of action that could lead to complications. Always follow your doctor's guidance regarding pain management while on Wellbutrin.
