Occasionally i get an odd smell in my nose, like burning hair. had sinusitis recently, just finished z-pack. used nasal decongestants, expectorant. recently started on wellbutrin, and i read that phantom smells might be sign of a seizure disorder?

Smells: the most common reason would be a sinus infection. Not a sign of impending seizure.Check with an ENT expert.
