o my goodness yes!! i never connected my hairloss with Wellbutrin !! i take 300 mg XL daily. I was
baffled as to why my hair which is naturally thick and healthy is thinning at an alarming rate. U reckon it is the Wellbutrin side effect ?

I asked whether anyone had hair thinning, and I see that some people did. Also, heavy sweating, especially at night. I do not seem to be getting positive effects from these drugs: only benzodiazepines help with the anxiety part.
Otherwise, I seem to have a lack of will, that inborn sense of desire to do something. No energy, weak too, but worse is that lack of motivatioin, as though doing anything is a really big chore. No life force, that is what it feels like. Anyone experiencing this?

Yes I am losing hair, approx 1/4 of my hair so far. I have been (had been) on WB 300XL for 3 months. My hair loss started after the first month. I've been combing out my hair over my or my gym's garbage cans. I just realized 2 days ago it is connected to taking WB. I stopped WB yesterday. My psychiatrist said cold turkey is ok, or taper over 1-wk. I *really* hope my hair becomes fully restored. From what I have read I will continue to lose more hair over the next three months, so it may get a little worse before it gets better.

BTW i think 1% is not accurate. It's much higher!
