EFFEXOR - HAIR LOSS, AM I THE ONLY ONE?

Posted by Taylor123 on May 7, 2003, at 15:44:51

hi there,
Hope all is well.
I feel very wierd writing this, but am on 225mg of Effexor XR for 6 months, and have lost 27kg. Recently though, I have been loosing handfulls of hair in the shower. It's not on the side-effect profile... (but these things often aren't!)
Am I the only one?
I'm 23 with long hair, so no jokes about me loosing my hair thru stress or old age!
I really think it is from the Effexor. I am taking Lithium too, but been on that for couple of years with no probs.
Any comments / advice?
Thanx for the feed-back!
Good luck all.
