In reply to Love Wellbutrin, but scared of HAIR LOSS!, posted by Marie83 on September 12, 2008, at 11:57:30
Hi Marie83,
I'm afraid I have some bad news. I lost half of my hair on wellbutrin. I noticed the hairloss about a month after starting on it, but didn't connect it to Wellbutrin until months later. I would find clumps of it on my pillow, shower drain, my therapist's chair, etc.
I stopped Wellbutrin when a hairstylist told me there wasn't enough hair to layer it the right way!!! I decided no amount of Wellbutrin would help me with depression if I went bald.
The good news is my hair has stopped falling out in clumps and is slowly growing back. I've done some research on the internet and found that a fair amount of people experienced hairloss on Wellbutrin, and nothing about successfully combatting this side effect. I didn't want to wait around to see if I could fight it and lose even more hair.
Sorry about the bad news, but this was my experience with it. I actually regret ever going on Wellbutrin and fortunately, I didn't experience any bad withdrawls.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
