What Are The Effects Of Wellbutrin Withdrawal?

I have been on Wellburtin almost a year, at 150 mgs per day. I think that my hair is thinning significantly from this medication. I was recommended by my therapist to consider going up to 300 mgs per day, but am concerned that the hair loss is related to Wellbutrin and will increase. What happens if a person STOPS wellbutrin? Does it have a withdrawal?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, "Bupropion" (Wellburtin) is mainly used in functional condition and this may not cause any hair thinning but of course mental condition some time cause such hair thinning, if you are going to stop this drug then this could cause some withdrawal syndrome so better to have word with psychiatrist before not taking this medicine, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
