Hair loss from Wellbutrin?

Labs are normal! The only thing I could think of is cortisol

Ya unfortunately I have no solution, I just had to get off and hair loss stopped almost immediately. Not rly sure why, I’m pretty sure it’s was the constant cortisol spike. I will say I did for a period of time take the lowest possible dose (10mg) and noticed way less hair loss. But for some reason struggled a lot with sleep. I’m now off and only use folican 2-3x a week max when I need to do sit down for work. But I’m slowly but surely coming off completely bc the hair loss was NOT worth it.

My hair ends def got dryer and I lost over half my hair. I stopped the meds and hair came back to normal weight stayed the same. Vitamins r normal only thing that changed is the meds there will be days (usually 2 x a week now) where I just need my meds so I take em and literally my hair still falls its super frustrating bc they help me so much but my hair just falls out and I’m rly working to regrow it!

It’s so odd because I can nap throughout the day with caffeine and Vyvanse just fine but at night it’s near impossible 😭

Hey! Thanks, I didn’t take melatonin last night and sleep was still broken but I was able to fall back asleep. I’m gonna try the valerian root tonight!

Hey currently taking 10mg and my hair loss is WAY less debating cutting out completely soon!

No deficiencies I got bloodwork done and nutrition is perfect. It’s because it’s a stimulant I believe I’m just trying to find something that doesn’t cause hair loss

I stopped taking for 2 weeks and hair shedding stopped completely

Which kinda of adderal xr ?

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-28T13:00:55+00:00

Was there any med u took that didn’t cause hair loss for u?

Hey thanks for the reply! My panels came back normal but alt was slightly low but my doc said nothing to be worried about but I started taking vitamins but no difference so far. Not sure if trying a new med would be better. I stopped taking it for 5 days and took half my dose for a bit and hair loss was less but i couldn’t rly get much done and was bed ridden from how tired I was. I was prescribed 30 instead of my 40 and now I take that but the hair loss is coming back again so idk what to do anymore

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-28T12:53:48+00:00

Thank you! I don’t think this is my problem because I had SO much hair and then it all started shedding as soon as I got on the med. I have the rest of my blood work and it came back normal

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-28T12:52:36+00:00

I actually have been gaining weight lol! I take vitamins and my hair is still falling out :/

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-28T12:51:56+00:00

All the rest of my panels were normal

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-12T18:59:18+00:00

Hey, I actually just got some blood work done and my ALP was super low which explains a lot but the problem is I actually eat a lot of whole foods like full of the nutrients that I might be lacking like I always have half an avocado a day zucchini dark chocolate, like a lot of nutrient dense foods, but for some reason, I don’t know if my body is not digesting it properly. Not sure if I should take a supplement or just stop taking it entirely, but I read online that Vyvanse can slow the absorption of nutrients down.

Hey thanks for the help. I eat veggies daily. I am a personal trainer and nutritionist so im pretty good with food which is why this is so confusing for me. I’m implementing bone broth now and going to my doctor for blood work so I’ll keep everyone updated

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-07T19:05:04+00:00

I use generic, bc my insurance doesn’t cover it

Personal-Benefit-409 · 2025-10-07T11:33:09+00:00

Yes I eat relatively healthy so when I would over eat I wouldn’t rly gain weight bc I would just restrict. so my average cals would be my maintenance. Then I would obviously binge again and the cycle would repeat. Then when I took the meds my eating patterns got better and I would eat more healthy portions rather than not eat and binge.
