In reply to Love Wellbutrin, but scared of HAIR LOSS!, posted by Marie83 on September 12, 2008, at 11:57:30
> Hi everyone,

> I'm at a loss of what to do. Wellbutrin has helped me in a way that I don't think most AD's can. It's helping me come out of a horrible depressive episode and I like the fact that it energizes me doesn't cause weight gain. Unfortunately, I've been losing larger amounts of hair than usual since starting it and am afraid of going bald! My questions are as follows:
>
> 1. Is this a transient side effect? Will my hair stop falling out once my body has adjusted to the medication?
>
> 2. Is there a way for me to combat the hair loss while remaining on the Wellbutrin? I'm currently taking zinc, selenium, biotin, a multi vitamin and recently added iron. Is there anything else I can add? What about shampoos? Anyone had any miracles with those?

> I desperately would like to remain on this medication. Please tell me there's hope! Thanks for any input that you may have.Hi Marie,
I haven't heard or read that hair loss is a side effect of wellbutrin. Have you told your pdoc about your experience? He/she may have some recommendations for you.
The hair loss could be a result of something else.Jay
