I've been on 15mg of Remeron & 450mg of Wellbutrin for about six months and I've starting losing hair. I've always had a really thick, full head of dark hair and there's no baldness in my family on either side so I was really shocked to see it happening to me! I'm going to talk to my doctor this week about it being a possible side effect of the meds. The thing is it mostly looks like it's thinning all over the top but not so much on the sides. Does Wellbutrin usually cause this kind of hair loss or am I just (..gulp) natuarally losing my hair?? I don't want to get my hopes up but if it is indeed the Wellbutrin then this will in effect make me more depressed than if I went off it. If it is the case I hope it all comes back as the drugs leave my system. I'm actually really worried by site of the thinning hair & lately it's all I think about.
