Discontinuing Wellbutrin & Shedding (Anti-depressants & Hair Loss)
» Hi there, please can you tell me did your hair come back after stopping the wellbutrin. I'v been off 1 week and am really scared. Shell My hair loss started when I went on Wellbutrin and came off SSRI but that
» was accompanied by a 30 pound weight loss (Hurray!). Initially I
» attributed the hair loss to the weight change. My hair seemed to stop
» shedding and begin to grow back within 1-2 months after my weight
» stabilized. Shortly after that, however, the hair loss picked up again.
» It's been very hard to tease out the cause because I'm also
» perimenopausal. I saw a few doctors who were very quick to chalk my
» problem up to hormones but neither of them had ever heard of Wellbutrin
» causing loss, so I'm taking what they say with a grain of salt.

» I did go off Wellbutrin and didn't notice a significant difference but I
» only stayed off for about a month. Unfortunately the Wellbutrin seems to
» be great for my depression but the hair loss isn't. Sorry if this has
» been asked already - I've read a lot of entries but couldn't make it
» through all of them. How long might it take for shedding to stop after
» discontinuing the Wellbutrin? I figure I'll give it a try (with my MD's
» knowledge) but may well want to hop back on if it doesn't seem to affect
» my hair.

» Thanks for any responses and again, sorry if this question has been asked.
