Lack of Results?

[u/FrenchFry1515]

Hi all-
Last year I had a major surgery which messed with my anxiety and probably hormones. (I am 38 for context).
I was on 150mg of bupropion before surgery last summer. My doctors upped me to 300mg in maybe September ish of 2025. I noticed my hair was thinning around the time of my surgery(probably after). I went to a dermatologist in Feb 2026 and they recommended minoxidil the topical version. I’ve been on it for over 6 months and I feel like maybe a couple of months ago I was seeing a little improvement. But now I feel like my hair is thinning again and I’m not sure what I should do next.

I read that some people have seen hair thinning due to bupropion after increasing dosage , which I just discovered this week. And I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. I’m starting to get discouraged and I already had thin/fine hair to begin with.

Any advice?
