I have been taking this since March and I have lost half my hair, it is so depressing. I only realized this evening that the Wellbutrin is maybe causing it. I am so upset. I can see my scalp, and it is so bad, I canceled my vacation home to see my parents who haven't seen me for 2 years - what on earth will they think? My question is: Did your hair grow back after stopping the drug? If so, how long did it take? I am taking 300 mg XL. I have also noticed that my eyebrows have thinned.

YES the hair did grow back, slowly! At least there maybe hope if you stop or try something different. I started taking Hair, Skin and Nails from GNC as soon as I noticed it falling out. Really any vitamin with high amounts of biotin will help! Also a little FYI, I researched other natural alternatives for hair loss through the internet and stumbled across a chinese herb I have been taking. I beleive it has helped with the regrowth. I do believe it was a side effect from the medicine, because it did eventually grow back after I discontinued use of the Wellbutrin. Good luck! Ihope you find this useful.
