Could be a timing issue but I feel the hair loss was greatly accelerated in my case.I've been on the combo of Wellbutrin/Celexa for about 6 months and definitely have hair loss.

I am actually hoping to stay off meds altogether for awhile. Sometimes the “cure” is worse than the problem.PS – I would stress to any who read my comment, don’t stop any medication without checking with your doctor.Wellbutrin caused me serious complications with scalp acne and random cysts. I’ve never had a problem with this before.

There wasn’t one day where I wouldn’t get a cyst on my cheek, forehead, or jaw. This makes me think that rather than any one chemical in Wellbutrin (or any other drug) causing the issue it's more about unique interactions between the drug and an individual. But at least it’s not closely as bad as with wellbutrin. Does anyone take ortho-tricyclene and wellbutrin? What a let down.I’ve always had some acne but during the year I was on Wellbutrin and Adderall, I had horrible acne. So of course I got scars, I still have a small ‘hole’ in my cheek… I stopped Wellbutrin and acne cleared very soon.

I also suspect dopamine is involved. acne, anxiety, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd), bupropion, medication, symptom I have been on bupropion, off and on, for nearly 3 years, mostly for ADHD. I’m 42 years old and have never had skin problems in my life! I am very anxious and would deeply appreciate your quick reply, thank you. I’ve decided to stop taking the Wellbutrin for a while just to see if my skin clears back up. I was hesitant about taking Wellbutrin due to the many side effects I read about, but decided to try it to see if it would ease my anxiety. My mood is amazing and my energy level is wonderful. I am asking if it DID, what chemical in it would cause that sort of thing?I don't know why WB would cause acne / bad skin and hair loss. It’s a lose lose!I’ve been on Wellbutrin for 9 weeks . Sure I’ve gone through phases of harsh acne and light acne… but seriously, it’s never been clear for this long, and the only thing I can think of as the reason is the wellbutrin. When I was younger I took ortho-tricyclene to help my acne and it did wonders. Do you have acne? such as zyprexiaI'm on 450 of WB...I've been on it since May. I’m 47 and premenopausal and I’ve only been taking this small amount of buprion for 2 weeks. My face went back to it’s normal acne-free state in short time.Before this I went on Escitalopram/cirpalex and Brintellix. such as zyprexiaDEPRESSION & ANXIETY MEDICATIONS - LOOKING FOR ANSWERS Wellbutrin And Acne/hair Loss -- Why? I have noticed a positive difference in a week, but I have gotten a few new zits. So my Dr prescribed brand-name Wellbutrin XL, which worked much better for the depression with no acne issues. So my question is…has anyone maybe gone to a dermatologist and found a medication to counteract the cystic acne side effect?I started Generic Wellbutrin in September as an add on to 5 mg Lexapro. When i stop my skin becomes clear. I sure hope so. Ive been on 150xl now for a couple weeks and my skin has been much clearer and I have been drinking coffee.

I’ve been so stumped! I called my doctor to see if I can stop taking it. I feel it doesn’t quite work as well as the XL version but whatever; it’s better than waking up everyday with a bunch of giant pulsing zits on your face. All rights reserved. I don't think its the WB, I haven't been taking good care of my body in awhile.Maybe I should rephrase my question.
