"i started taking 150 mg of bupropion (the generic wellbutrin) and after a couple weeks doubled it to 300 mg after my doctor told me to. exactly one week later i broke out into the biggest, puffiest, itchiest hives all over my body. my joints also became swollen, stiff, and painful. my throat was also sore and tight. i ended up in the er. 

what&#039;s really sad is that it was working wonders for me! i studied half as much and it was twice as effective, my test grades were great!

i&#039;m now trying to decide between effexor or straterra."
