Hair Loss After Taking Welbutrin. Took Biotin, Experienced Elevated BP And Heart Rate. When Will It Become Normal?

I am on wellbutrin 75mg bid, have started to notice hair loss. I was told to try to take Biotin 10,000 MCG pro qd to help with hair loss. I started biotin last Monday and almost immediately experienced elevated bp and heart rate. My normal bps run about 117/74 to 126/84 with a hr around 90. I do have a history of PACs, my bp and hr has been 144/74 fish with hr btwn 116-136 and I am feeling a flutter in my chest. I stopped taking biotin 1.5 days ago, but bps and hr remain abnormal, how long will it take to return to normal?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query

This hair fall is mainly drug induced.

You dont need to worry much.

Use minoxidil,
Its a good treatment.

Apart from this you can also use tab androanagen.

Regarding food you can take any diet rich in protein.

Also you can wash hair daily.

Washing wont cause hair fall.

Soon you will get back your hair.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
