Wellbutrin and losing my hair

Ok, the facts seem to be out and I am convinced of the cause.Hair loss, I was taking zoloft and was prescribed wellbutrin in addition to pick up my energy level.The wellbutrin seemed to be effective for increased energy, however my hair has been falling out so quickly I am afraid to brush or wash it.I am convinced after reading this an other posts the wellbutrin is to blame.For me the the bit of added energy isn't worth losing my hair over.I will be flushing the rest down the big white!

I've been on Wellbutrin for 2 1/2 months and finally realized I am losing my hair. The hair line is intack but I can see my scalp real clearly when my hair is wet, mainly on the top of my head. I went to the Dermotolgist today, he gave me a heart to heart about male pattern baldness (thanks but I don't think you develop male pattern baldness overnight like this). I am convinced it is from the drug.

He did say that about 1% of your hair folicles are always shedding and regrowning. Drug induced hair loss simply increases the percentage of folicles in the shedding stage. He said this stage is not permanent and the hair will grow back.

I am off the Wellbutrin. Bring on the Gloom baby, I keepin' my hair. I'll take my chances with the depression.
