Its very unlikely that bupropion caused rashes.Though not impossible you might have to Consider other causes too. You can try antihistaminics like levocetrizine for a week to control rashes,itching and see the response.if the symptoms are persisting ,try reducing the dose to 150mg and see if ts decreasing.
