> I took wellbutrin back in 2004 for about 6mo. I started with one pill, then took to splitting a second pill for an additional half dose at the behest of my doctor. Before I could tell what was happening, my hair began to fall out in mobs just for running my fingers through it. I had long, thick, beautiful hair too. I was 28 years old when it happened. I stopped taking the medication immediately, been on nothing at all since, but the hair still has not grown back. I keep it short because it just looks frayed and thinned out as it gets longer, even if I go and get it evened out, it just grows like that. All I can say is that I thank God for changing me for the better internally inspite of everything.
are you male or female?...B/c wellbutrin is a dopamine agonist i would say it has the potential to increase levels of testosterone or fool around with one's signaling even after taking the drug..Increased testosterone is also responsible for hairloss sometimes in men and women......This is probably very rare but obviously it happened and is most likely from the drug like you say...Maybe trying to increase you serontonin levels could increase hair growth back bylowering T levels slightly as well as taking biotin supplement... They are both safe supps when taken at proper doses..
