Wellbutrin, hair loss (Anti-depressants & Hair Loss)

posted by OD , 17.06.2007, 22:54

I have been on Wellbutrin 450 mg for many years with great success. I also take Lamictal 300 mg and clonazepam 1 mg.

Everyone knows that the maximum dose of Wellbutrin is 450 mg; right? Through a pharmacy error I was given 800 mg daily of Wellbutrin for two months before I realized it. Needless to say I thought I was going crazy because if you know all the side-affects of Wellbutrin on the clinical dosages, you can imagine they are doubled with a double dose; right?

I am upset b/c I have been on the drug with great success over the years with minimal side-affects. But this overdose has caused increased problems with a lot of things. Hair thinning is one of them. this really is not a good thing. I can see my scalp and my hair is thinning.

Has anyone else been overdosed on Wellbutrin? Those who have may no longer be with us since that amount of the drug could cause seizures or death. I know that this OD with all the other meds is not a good thing. I was confused, dazed, felt like I was getting alzheimer's disease--and I am on 46.

Has anyone been through this? I need to know. Thanks so much.
