A member asked:

Can wellbutrin (bupropion) xl or trileptal cause thinning damaged hair in woman?

Not usually: Have never seen either medicine cause damage to hair, but suppose if you had an allergic response or a rather unique reaction, hair damage might occur, but certainly would be a rather different outcome than has previously reported. The fda keeps records of unusual reactions, and perhaps there is some prior report which is relevant. Discuss with your doctor.

Yes: Wellbutrin (bupropion) can lead to hair loss. There are anecdotal reports of hair loss with trileptal.
