Thanks Larry for your reply. Much appreciated once again. I'll get those items you mentioned the next time I go to the drug store. I have another new development as of late last night and it has really thrown me off.

First let me preface by saying that I am extremely med sensitive. I am allergic to a number of meds, ie: antibiotics and NSAIDS for starts, and yes it would include all in those drug families. Different reaction to different ones but none a pretty picture.

Anyway, being med sensitive, a lot of the time what happens to me is that I can take a prescription for something chronic for quite some time, months, years even with no problem and then BAM! all of a sudden my body starts to reject the med and I start getting an adverse reaction that gets worse if I continue taking the med and clears up quickly if I stop taking the med. The first symptom is always the same, both eyes, upper eyelids, get extremely itchy, starting off by looking pink and then turning more red, but closer to the pink end of it. If I stop taking the med, then it all clears up and end of problem except I still have the problem for which I was taking the med in the first place.

Now, whenever I've had this problem before, it was always before my BP surfaced and therefore I was not on any psych meds, so it was easy to determine what med was the nasty culprit. Unfortunately now, I'm taken several meds, all for quite some time, other than the Wellbutrin SR, which is probably about 3 months now, not sure when I started it but 3 mths give or take. With that said, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the Wellbutrin that is causing the problem, it could just as easily be one of the meds that I've been taking much longer because I've gone through this before with a med that I was taking for 2 years, Naproxen, which is obviously on my NSAID list.

So, here is my question, which you have probably already figured out by what I've told you up to this point, which freaking med is it???

I'm taking:

Effexor XR for approx 5 years
Tegretol for approx 8/9 months
Wellbutrin SR for approx 3 months, maybe more
Xanax for appox 4 years, as needed only
Klonopin for approx 2 years

As I said, the length of time is not really a factor. I don't think there is any way of finding out which one it is and that leaves me with EXTREMELY sore and itchy eyelids and not knowing what to do. And when I say they are sore, they are so sore that having my eyes open is very painful for me, it is less sore if I close them (albeit the pain is still there, just not as bad) but I can't get through my day with my eyes closed And at this point, I think I'm going to take some Tylenol for them.

Let's face it, my body is falling apart on me. It's on strike against all these psych meds or maybe this is not even med related this time? Stress? I'm about ready to throw all these freakin' meds in the garbage, other than my Xanax, the only one that does much for me, or so it seems.
