I've been taking the generic for Wellbutrin (Bupropion HCL XL) 300mg QD since January 2009. My gynecologist put me on this with a combination of progesterone only birth control in order to increase my sex drive (and I believe I recently found the cause of the loss of libido - Yaz BC). Anyway, the combination has not helped the libido at all - still just not there anymore. I'm very jealous of those of you who have reported an increased sex drive. I wish that was the case for me. However, the only side effect I've really been experiencing is shakiness of my hands (think Parkinson's). It sucks because I play violin, but since it's the only symptom, I can't really complain. I feel better in general, like an overall feeling of well-being and I can't remember the last time I had a mood swing or bout of unnecessary crying. No hair loss here. Although, I have lost some weight over the months, but not exactly sure if it's related to the Wellbutrin. I'm 25 years old.
