I've been on Contrave about 3 months and only thing I've been losing is my hair?

I have a few tips for you. Number one continue to drink water try to replace other drinks with water when possible. Number two anytime you’re taking a medication that causes hair loss take at least 10,000 mg of biotin a day. You can take up to 20,000 mg a day if needed. It will help counteract the hair loss. Number three try not to eat large meals after 6 o’clock if at all possible. And instead of exercising, try just going for walks. Don’t forget exercising, depending on what you’re doing can increase muscle mass which will make your weight seem as if it’s not going anywhere.

If that’s the case you should get off of it now. If no weight loss has occurred after this long it’s not for you, and you don’t want to take it if you’re losing your hair.

I have been on Wellbutrin for about 15 Years for anxiety and depression and I take the max dose and not once have I experienced hair loss. It's not the Wellbutrin causing it. I'd say it's the other ingredient.

reposting my reply to another asking about this: Hair loss is an EXTREMELY common side effect of Contrave and Wellbutrin. Regardless of what the med label states, its more common than not, if you join any of the Contrave facebook pages, you'll see how common it is. Note: on the Contrave company-run facebook page, they delete negative comments so search citizen-run pages. I do not know one woman on Contrave who hasn't experienced some type of hair thinning or loss by month six. I can't speak for men as I only know women on the med, but I assume it would be the same for men. Many assume its a lack of protein, iron, biotin etc in their diets, or its just because they've lost a lot of weight, but that is not the case, the Wellbutrin in Contrave causes the hair thinning and hair loss.

I was on Contrave July 2016 for the first two weeks and started noticing a change in my hair texture as well as a bold spot in one local area. I paniced and stop talking it! After researching i found that a deep conditioner and a protein hair treatment would stop the damaged. I have requested an update on my prescription but my doctor will not renew it!

Just a note about your hair loss -- every Spring I "shed" (lose hair).
