WARNING: Sun exposure with Bupropion

I was outside the other day for a couple hours and realized I had a sunburn that evening. I thought it was odd to burn so quickly but brushed it off, despite it actually feeling pretty bad for the next couple nights. (stinging pain)

Well today there are little blisters all over where the burn is, and very dry skin on some spots. It's a 2nd degree burn😒

I've never had this reaction in my life, even with seemingly worse sunburns, they usually just fade after religiously using aloe.

So, fair warning if your doc didn't mention it; Bupropion DOES cause sun sensitivity. No one told me, and I'm glad I found out before the actual summer sun arrives.

Update to add: I'm on 300mg. I've had no incidents of overheating or profuse sweating that some medications have for side effects. Yet, the sun sensitivity is worse than any other med I've been on.

Adding info from webmd;

Bupropion and its byproducts can absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, which causes damage to skin cells when you are out in the sun. The medication can also alter your body's ability to regulate temperature and sweat, making you more prone to heat intolerance.

AITA for setting strict boundaries with my mother over abandoned items in my home?

My sister moved out almost a year ago. She took all that she wanted and left a ton of things behind, even some of her daughter's belongings. Although it's my intention to continue getting rid of things, sorting, just combining it all with a big spring cleaning type event for my items as well. There's still quite a few things remaining of my sister's, which is the problem.

My mother will not stop asking for random things, saying "Oh, I believe they have XYZ left behind, which I want now" This has gone on for MONTHS. I've closed shop, told her I need to deal with these things in my own time on my own terms while reminding her these things were by all means, abandoned. I've told her "Okay whatever you want get it now!!!" with a specific day to get whatever, and to STOP this crazy obsession with constantly asking to come pick up this or that. But even still, she will offer to bring over dinner or watch my child but every time she's ultimately asking for something out of the garage or basement. Today, she told me she made XYZ food, and if it was okay to bring some over. I said, "sure". Before I could even get out the door to greet her, she was already IN my garage, snooping, searching through my things. I blew up. I feel violated, disrespected, manipulated. I don't care what she wants, I don't care what use she has for things I don't even want for myself; It's that she just WON'T STOP. She says I'm overreacting, making a big deal out of nothing, and of course always says I'm a being a B**** in these instances.

We have a long history of not getting along. I've always seen her as a boundary pusher to the extreme, manipulative, always doing things to ultimately benefit her or give herself praise. I've always been told to let it be, she's just being herself, stop being mad, asked why I have such a grudge. But I'm so beyond done. I want peace in my life and our interactions are limited for reasons just like this one. But this has gone on for so long with her insisting her ways that I am truly questioning If I am the problem?

AITA for being angry over this and telling her NO MORE?
