Wellbutrin Help (Anti-depressants & Hair Loss)

posted by Elizabeth, 19.09.2006, 06:36

This is awful. The only antidepressant that works for me, and I have tried them all, is Wellbutrin. Unfortunately, my hair is falling out at an unbelievable rate. As I look back over the last few years I can contribute all of my hair loss to this. The times when I quit taking it, the hairloss stopped. I distinctly remember my husband commenting on the volume of hairloss-and then commenting "hey, the hairloss seems to have stopped" (he of course noticed because there was always hair on the bathroom floor when it was falling out). I just started again a month ago-and its falling out like crazy again.

(How the heck to you guys count how many hairs you are losing)

Three questions:

Do you think this will continue until I'm bald if I keep taking this medication?

Is there anything anyone knows I can do that will help (other than stop wellbutrin)?

I started using Rogaine before I know it was the Wellbutrin- will it hurt to stop the Rogaine, or should I keep that up too?

This is so bad.
