I started losing hair within maybe two weeks of starting Wellbutrin SR about nine months ago. At that time it was my only med, so I'm sure the WB was responsible. I haven't lost any clumps, just a steady allover shedding, very noticeable on the bathroom floor (and drains!) and in a thinner ponytail. It seems to have lessened somewhat since my dosage was reduced from 400 mg to 300, but hasn't stopped. I've been putting up with it because I had very thick hair to start with, so no one except me seems to notice it, and because WB has been good for me in other ways (though not entirely effective on its own). This has been my *only* negative side effect on WB. Been losing pounds along with the hair, too, so it's been an OK tradeoff so far.
