I am not a doctor , however in the case of Pharma name and generic, often the pills have differennt coatings. Could this be what is causing you to itch. Recently I went from 110 mgs of Bupropion to 15omgs. I started with the constipation, and now I itch all over. I originally thought it was dry winter skin, guess not.

Generic brand wellbutrin makes my skin hypersensitive and if it gets scratched turned into hives... I hope I have to option to try name brand because my body does not like the generic. I'm in us though and hear it's hard to come by and very expensive

Hello, guest.
If you experience hives after scratching your skin while taking the generic brand wellbutrin, it is important to speak to a doctor. They may recommend switching to a different medication or adjusting the dose of the medication.
It is also possible that the hives may be allergic reaction to the medication, in which case further testing may be necessary.
For how long do you experience this?

I started generic Wellbutrin about 4 years ago and began to develop night-time itching. This continued for the 3.5 years I was on it. I stopped using Wellbutin about 17 months ago and still have itching at night, although not to as severe. It's terrible. I have to take allegra 2-3 times/week to stop it. Also, I have noticed mild gastroparesis since stopping Welbutrin.
