Acrylates in medication?

Does anyone have information about whether acrylates in medications will also cause a reaction? I have gotten unsatisfactory info from my derm who did patch testing and my allergist. I have been on Wellbutrin xl for a long time and would really rather not mess with it but I’m worried about my long-term sensitization :(

I had a bad reaction about 2 months ago to nail glue, which made me realize I have an acrylate allergy (they are the only ingredient in the nail glue). I've been struggling with my skin since puberty and struggling with dishydrotic eczema on my hands for years now.

I was using acrylates in the nail glue, my face products, and my hair products. Not pictured, but I've seen a huge improvement in my scalp since stopping acrylates as well - I had weird build up that has subsided.
