What Causes Hair Thinning While On Vyvanse And Wellbutrin?

I m taking 40 mg of vyvanse and 150mg of Wellbutrin. I ve been on Wellbutrin for less than 2 yrs and vivance for about a yr. I ve always had thick long hair, runs in my family, but the past 6 months it s been thinning significantly. I cut it shorter to put less weight on it and I don t color my hair that often, like maybe once or twice a year. I don t know what to do how do I get my hair back?

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

I would suggest you to consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test, blood test and physical examination. Doctor may prescribe you drug like finpecia or anti fungal treatment along with minoxidil spray. The doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A, Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique. Take Indian gooseberry powder with water once a day and use almond oil to massage your hairs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
