I Have Been Taking Bupropion XL For Approximately 2 Years

I have been taking Bupropion XL for approximately 2 years &I have had a great deal of hair loss & thinning! My hair brush is always full, hair in the sink, drains & essentially all over the house, my clothing & the washing machine. My Psyciatrist said this medication would help me quit smoking (which it hasn't) and elevate my depression (not sure how much it does) I am bipolar also. I am taking 150 mg. 1x/da. & am 71 years old. I also take Divalproex ER, 500 mg. 1x/da. Also take a number of other medications. I used to have beautiful thick hair. My friends, who are in my age group, tell me it is just part of aging & their hair falls out too. I am not happy with their diagnosis. What can I do about my hair? & is there any truth to what my friends tell me about this? Sorry this is so long! If you should have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to ask me @ YYYY@YYYY . Thank You!
