Re: Love Wellbutrin, but scared of HAIR LOSS!

I have been on Wellbutrin XL for almost 2 months now. About 1 week after starting the Wellbutrin I experienced accelerated hair loss. My hair has been slowing thinning over the past 20 years, but it certainly got worse after starting Wellbutrin. I will stop taking the medication and hope my recently lost hair grows back. The benefits of Wellbutrin don't make up for the increased depression caused by this hair loss. I also experienced increased hair loss with Zoloft. I know the experts say that only a very small percentage of patients experience hair loss while taking Wellbutrin. In my opinion, people with normally thick hair won't notice if they're losing any hair. I think you have to lose about 50% of your hair before noticing any marked difference in thickness. It's people like me, who have thin hair to begin with, who notice the hair loss while on medication.
