I have been on wellbutrin for 4-5 years and had not had any hair loss from it. However, I recently discovered 3 bald spots on my scalp. I don't think it's from the meds, though. About 10 years ago, I had a bald spot on my scalp. I didn't go see the Dr. then, but went this time because it was 3 spots instead of one. He did blood tests, and found nothing unusual. So, it seems, that I have Alopecia Areatas, or at least that's what the Dr. says.
Anyone else have experience with Alopecia? Typically, I have shedding periods usually in the early spring, and late summer, which I believe is the normal hair cycle anyway. I would hate to think my hair loss is from the wellbutrin, as it is the only thing that keeps the sexual side effects at bay from also taking Zoloft.
Any comments are greatly appreciated!
