Re: Wellbutrin hair loss, poop out what to do?

hey. Sorry about your hair loss. I have hair loss (male pattern PLUS it was thin from psychiatric meds), and I use a supplement called BioSil. You can get it lots of places online (usually a bit cheaper than in stores) or in a "real" store if you prefer. Just a suggestion.

I don't know much about antidepressant-induced hair loss, so I don't know if re-starting the medication would cause more hair loss or possibly make other forms of hair loss (hormonal, age-related, etc.) worse. It seems kinda risky to me, personally, especially for an antidepressant when there are other options that might (note: **MIGHT**) be better suited for your intense anxiety.

Have you tried Effexor or Cymbalta? I mean, they're definitely not perfect, but I think it might strike a balance between stimulation and calming that might be better than wellbutrin. You could still add BuSpar to either one.

I'm sorry this happened to you. Mental problems are hard enough without having to deal with hair loss and everything that goes with that. I hope you have better luck with your next round of meds, whatever you and your doc settle on.
