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

ťHi Pam,

I just noticed your message so I thought I would return a response as to your inquiry about scalp tention/headache. As a matter of fact, I have had that exact same thing! I have never experienced that kind of tightness/stress tension on my scalp prior to taking Anti-Depr prescription. THere is no doubt this is directly related to the prescription. Additionally, I have had significant hair loss right after starting the prescription. I have made some adjustments in dosage and other alternatives, which I hope has help to taper off the hairloss. For the time being, it has slowed down a bit, however, it is too early to tell.

Anyway, FYI.

Hi,
ť I can completely relate to what you are going through. I am going through
ť a divorce. I started taking Welbutrin 3 months ago. I have always had
ť thick hair. I have lost sooo much hair. Especially around the hair line.
ť At first, I thought it might be from the stress of the divorce. I have
ť read where stress can cause hair loss. I also read, it could take up to a
ť year to stop. I also read a small article 2 months ago relating to
ť anti-depressants and hair loss. But, couldn't find enough research at the
ť time to warrant stopping the drug. Oddly enough, I can feel stress in my
ť scalp, it's kind of a tingly weird sensation. I am wondering if this
ť happened to you. I was at the salon, also, last night, and my stylist who
ť I have had for years is trying to figure out why I have had breakage also.
ť I do color my hair, like you. Anyway, so glad I found your article today.
ť I am seriously considering going off of Welbutrin.
