Hello, I've been taking 150mg of Wellbutrin XL for approx. 2 years without a problem. My doctor upped my dose to 300mg a day. Approx. 3 months elapsed and I began to notice hair loss which quickly and progressively got worse within just a few weeks. Not knowing what else to blame, I began to wean myself off of Wellbutrin. It's been approx. 2 weeks since my last dose but I'm still experiencing major hair loss. I also occasionally experience a very "hot" sensation over the entire back of my scalp which has me stumped.

My question is... does Wellbutrin cause hair loss and if it does, how long might it take for it to completely flush from my system and how soon will I be able to notice any hair loss improvement?

Thanks in advance for any input!!
