A member asked:

Can the generic form of wellbutrin (bupropion) (budeprion sr) cause hair loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: Hair loss is not by any means common with bupropion (the generic name for wellbutrin). It is possible of course because people can have very unique responses to medication. Except for certain medications where this is often reported, the most common reason for hair loss in people taking psychiatric medications is stress.
