According to the generic blog for wellbutin, budeprion, there are tons of horror stories of its side effects compared to wellbutrin itself. Apparently, it's not like welbutrin AT ALL. That's where we have to take action. People have fine results on Welbutrin, and they switch, or even start of on the generic and the nightmares begin.

I have been taking Wellutrin XL in genetric form about 5 months. I feel like I'm going bald. Everytime I wash my hair I get hands full of it and it's thinned out sooo much. I called and asked my doctor to switch me to something diiferent. The only positive thing out of this is that I lost 20lbs from it. I did'nt notice any other results because I still felt depressed. I just continued taking them because doc said it takes time to get it in your system.

Thanks to those who replied to my message. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a list from the FDA of complaints that were made to various pharmaceutical companies regarding side-effects? Also, is there any advocacy group that might offer help to force pharmaceuticals to post the complaints that they have received about side effects on their websites- these are publicly regulated multi-national corporations - they should be obligated to post complaints so the public is fully informed of potential side effects particulary when there are so many blogs reporting hair loss yet Watson pharmaceuticals only reports it as a "rare" side effect on their insert. I'm questioning how "rare" it might be.

I am 42 and have been taking budeprion for well over a year. My hair has been thinning like crazy. I decided to google for info and lo and behold, it is most likely caused by the drug! I used to have lovely thick naturally curly hair. Now I am losing hair faster than it can be replaced and I look awful. I dread having to test out new meds, cuz this one works for my depression, well most of the time. Anyway, thought I would ad my experience here in case it is useful to anyone.
