Wellbutrin XL 450 mg

That's how much I take each day.

My hair is falling out.  What am I supposed to do?  I don't want to stop taking it because it has helped me quit smoking, gives more energy, and I've lost 20 pounds already.  

BUT, my hair (on my scalp) is falling out/thinning.  WHAT TO DO?

I have been taking Wellbutrin SR 100mg twice a day for about 2 months now. I have not had hair falling out...but that's not a good side effect...and it is not listed as a side effect in any drug book. But there are always side effects they never tell you about. And different ppl react differently. How long have you been on the Wellbutrin before that started happening?
I have been experiencing short term memory loss and having a hard time concentrating, can't stay focused? Anyone else having that?

I've been taking it for almost a year now.

It started in November of 2007.  I had 'school blues' and um, relatives staying with me.   Eh.
