I have been taking Wellbrutin for six months and just developed the rash on my stomach.It began with intense itching,then it kept improving.It is now the 6th. day and is almost gone.I used neosoprim cream.Could the rash appear after six months?

I developed intense, full-body itching, without rash, after about 6 months on Wellbutrin.
My pdoc said the itching wasn't caused by Wellbutrin, and it wouldn't have started that late in the day, anyway. However, when I looked it up in the PDR I found itching w/o rash WAS a possible side-effect, and when I stopped the Wellb., the itching also stopped. Sooo...draw your own conclusions from this anecdotal evidence!
Good luck!.
