> Hair loss, alopecia, is a side effect of MANY medications, some as simple as Tylenol. As far as AD meds go, I suspect you will find a smattering of this type of side effect affecting 1-3% of people taking them. If that is your concern, and there are no other connections causing your hair loss (e.g. hormonal changes due to menopause), you should look into switching to another AD med. You did not mention what you are taking. If you do so, I will provide you with data straight from the 2000 PDR (Physican's Desk Reference).

Hey PAX!
WOW what a great offer!
I was taking Celexa and was absolutely convinced that
it was making my hair fall out.
I litterally was pulling gobs of hair.
Very distresssing!
Doctor switched me to effexor and it seems to
have stopped...although there is still some fall
out, it is hard to know if its normal shedding...
and I am paranoid, or what.
Anyhow...if there is any info on Celexa, Prozac
and Effexor regarding hair loss...
I would be very grateful!!!
Thanks a TON!
Dreamy
Yeah...if you can get any info on these two and
also
