What Causes Hair Growth On The Cheeks And Near The Eyes?
I am taking 100mg Zoloft and 300 bupropion for depression for about 4 weeks. About 2 weeks ago I noticed facial hair. It is light colored on my checks and above my upper and below my lower lip and also on my chin. I have other spots near my eyes that is also growing hair. Could this be a side effect of the meds? Thyroid problems have been ruled out. Thank you

Hello
Thanks for posting at HCM.
Of the medicines you are on,Bupropion has been mentioned in literatures to possibly have abnormal facial hair growth as a side effect.
But it will be worthwhile to get other causes checked out.
If you provide more details about yourself-age,sex other symptoms if any like recent weight gain..I will be able to help you better
Hope I have answered your query
