Hey does anyone have any knowledge or experience with thinning due to Bupropion and Wellbutrin? I was put on these 8 months ago and the hair really thinned out, same shedding but this time no regrowth. Thinning is basically all over hidden by what’s left of my long and curly hair. Hairline also getting thin AF Telogen Effluvium
I have only been using topical Finasteride from strut since seeing Baumen in May.
so at 40 I started:
doxycline 500
Levy thyroxine 125
Cytomel 10
stopped and started
Propecia
Oral Minoxidil
sides immediately but stayed on a month. Test dropped from 1000 to 520. They put me in topical test. I stopped after 1 month before realized it is a hair killer.
from there I juggled:
RU
Topical Finasteride
OraMinoxidil
+ the meds above, the swapped test for HCG
cold turkey on AAs when the sides came back. Stayed in HCG to recover 4 months
doctor added Trazodone, Doxysocin, Bupropion, tretenoin face to all of the above.
got labs and my test that was 1120 4 months ago was 700 with sides.
basically I’m sticking with all of this sh*t and adding back some HCG to fix sides.
TLDR I’m on about 15 medications, at least ten have internet threads saying they cause diffuse thinning. When stop sh*t I get sides. I stopped bupropion and sank into depression week later, lost a girl. Back on and hair is shedding most are week and safe AF. The diffuse thinning is real. Last year my hair was still dense, f*** even March is salvageable.
many input on these medications and would be help. Cold turkey after a internet post cost me a girlfriend.
