First day at a new job

and I'm all swollen, red & itchy. Benadryl has done nothing at all to help so I'll have to call my dr today.
I'm convinced I'm allergic to the new med I'm on...

The doctor will tell you to stop taking Wellbutrin immediately. Continue to take the allergy medication. But where the hives are spreading, I would go to the ER. Your airway COULD close. You MIGHT go into anaphylactic shock. Don't eff around with this.

@4meAndyou my throat was starting to close by the time I left work yesterday. Dr put me on prednisone.

@Tumbleweed I am relieved to hear you saw the doctor and that you are receiving treatment.

@4meAndyou Me too!! I was getting scared when my throat started to swell!

@Tumbleweed Never, never let an allergic reaction go for that long. Always get yourself to the ER when you break out in hives.

@4meAndyou At first I thought it was the lemon cookies but by day two, the hives were out of control & my eyes & throat had swollen!
