Hair Loss and Anti Depressants

Posted by Lynn G. on August 12, 2002, at 11:32:43

About 12 years ago I suffered from massive depression. After several different Meds were tried I finally got successful results with Wellbutrin. I experienced no side effects. I took the Wellbutrin for about 2 years then weaned off successfully. I have taken Prozac and Zoloft and experienced many side effects including hair loss. About a month ago my MD prescribed Wellbutrin for me. Again, the depression is successfully being treated, but I am experiencing massive hair loss...MASSIVE. I think the impending baldness may be as bad as the depression. The MD has suggested switching to Effexor.
Has anyone experienced hair loss with Effexor?
Will my hair grow back if I stop taking the Wellbutrin...or will it start growing back while I am on the Wellbutrin?
Any advice or information will be greatly appreciated...Thanks in advance for your responses.
