> i had hives daily on wellbutrin, but my doc didn't believe it was related to the drug. i finally asked to be taken off of it and the hives went away.
I'm guessing this is an allergic reaction. It's unusual, but not unknown. Did you try antihistamines (Benadryl, ChlorTrimeton, Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec, etc.)?
(Wellbutrin doesn't have any pharmacological effects that would be expected to lead to itching, although there's always the occasional idiosyncratic reaction that can't be explained.)
