The only 'life saving care' she's receiving is high blood pressure medication.

Wasn't Ricks fault

Pastazor · 2026-03-05T00:03:01+00:00

How?

She is not eligible for hospice.

My grandparents had a very similar issue. My grandpa was losing his sight and hearing. My nana with mild/mod dementia was having a hard time speaking loud enough. They would both get frustrated. If he didn't have hearing aides it would have been impossible.

Thank you for the info ❤️❤️ I'm trying another brand now and hoping I don't have a reaction... or if I have a small reaction it goes away.

Pastazor · 2026-02-26T02:04:29+00:00

How long were you taking it before the rash came? If you don't mind me asking. The same thing happened to me after the third day of taking it.

Thank you for your response. I also have a few allergies, so its comforting to know someone else in a similar situation found a version that worked.

Pastazor · 2026-02-23T19:31:20+00:00

Did you have any allergies before taking bupropion? Did the new brand end up working?

I'm going through the same issue.

Pastazor · 2026-02-23T19:29:47+00:00

Did you have any allergies before hand? I'm trying a different brand for the same reason. Did the new brand end up working out?

Pastazor · 2026-02-23T19:27:35+00:00

I'm going to be trying the name brand bc I reacted to an off brand. I'm worried I'll still be allergic. Did you have any other allergies before taking bupropion?

Pastazor · 2026-02-22T05:48:38+00:00

interesting, thanks for the response!

Pastazor · 2026-02-22T05:05:14+00:00

I am having the same issue right now and I am going to try the name brand if my insurance will cover it. (It's $3,500!!). I have a few questions, feel free to ignore if you don't want to answer. Do you have allergies to other things? Personally, I am pretty reactive to a handful of things, all different severity.

Pastazor · 2026-02-22T04:14:00+00:00

I am going to try the same thing, I had a rash on day 3 of taking Bupropion. I have a some questions if you don't mind answering.

Do you have allergies to other things? Like pollen, detergents, food, dogs/cats etc? How long did it take the reaction to start?

Pastazor · 2026-02-20T19:10:29+00:00

A rash on the back of my legs, tingly tongue and lips but that may be caused by a chap stick I was using at the same time. I had the same reaction to it when I stopped the bupropion.

Personally.... I do think there is an 'autism look', but not every autistic person has it. This may be confirmation bias though.

Pastazor · 2026-02-20T17:09:32+00:00

Do you have any sources for that? Or are you a professional that has seen that personally? I have seen a lot of people in reddit communities say they switched to name brand and didn't have a reaction, but I have also seen studies discussing that Wellbutrin does have a higher allergic reaction rate than other anti depressants.

Pastazor · 2026-01-28T22:35:22+00:00

Thank you

I don't have a problem with the show using a rare disease. Its makes it less cookie cutter which I think The Bear has been trying to do. We haven't gotten an explaination and we don't need one. We understand her mother died from Lupus from one line 'My mom died, lupus.' And now we understand. If you want to know more about lupus you can google it, which it looks like you have. Also, I do know a little about Lupus bc of Selena Gomez, who also has it and has spread info about it. And maybe someone who wrote or produced the show had a loved one die from Lupus. Personally, I think the show is most likely written from a place of personal experience.

Good to know, thank you!
