I have been taking Wellbutrin XL 300MG for 18 months now. It definitely cured my depression but since last couple of months I noticed my hair falling at an alarming rate. I can now see my scalp in several places. It is discouraging. I am going to lower the dose to 150MG and then stop after some time.

OK I STARTED WELLBUTRINE at 75 mg. then kept increasing to 150 then 300 till 450 mg of the xl i had a seizure my doc. said there was no side effects to increasing my dosage but within a month of taking 450 mg. i had a seizure you can actually have a stroke n die please be careful if your stutterig or your jaw is locking in a quick and weird way those are waring sighns no one told me til it was to late thankfully i was in bed when i had mine and my friend was over so she was able to help me with my 4 yr. old side effects i have had were
loss of memory
dizzy ness
loss of appetite (which i didnt mind)
blurry vision
anxiety (which i never had)
unability to sleep
loss of concentration
i cant focus
cant remember any thing i have to write things down and even then
i wonder what i ment
o and i got super sweaty like to the point where it was embarrassing
i usually never even sweat not even in the hot weather and i would sweat when i was sitting doing nothing and like dripping all over
hopes this helps some one bcuz these doc. are fckn assholes they dont tell you what could happen to u even when you ask. im off of it now i took my self off i feel sick n kinda upset sad but i keep my self busy b around friends to distract you even if you dnt feel up for it. been on meds since was 18 and now 23 tried lexapro n felt like a crack head then paxil ruined my relationships because of loss of sex drive and i blamed my self didnt know it was bcuz of the meds til it was all over. any ways keep looking for the right one and bware of wellbutrin i know it worked pretty good for a while sucks i have to find a new one i dont want to die because i keep taking it its not worth it. good luck to you all
