Dear Admin: you say Effexor does not cause hair loss but I also read accounts that it does? I took celexa and lexapro for years and had no trouble with hairloss. I started on Wellbutrin, and after 7 months (and many stressful triggors), I started shedding. If the hairloss is due to the wellbutrin, shouldnt the hairloss occur when I first began taking it?
I was checked for hormone imbalances, thyroid and iron - all normal. The doc says its stress related. I had been taking spironolactone for 3 years for facial hair and wonder if the hairloss could be related to discontinuing that med?

The wellbutrin has helped greatly with depression, but the hairloss has been going on for over 1 1/2 years and becomming depressing. My pdoc suggested effexor but Im paranoid about hairloss and sexual dysfunction.

I dont know what to do.
Thanks.

ť ť Hi Gillian,

I read your last message about your concerns about effexor. Did you end up using that and if so what kind of reactions have you had? Did you end up losing your hair??? I would appreciate your response. Thanks very much!!!

I am slowing withdrawing from 225mg. of Effexor. It has taken almost 1 year. The first month that i stopped taking Effexor completely my hair started to fall out from the roots.

I've been taking Effexor rx for the past 3 months and I noticed for the past month or so I've been losing a tremendous amount of hair. I couldn't figure out what could have been causing this, but the only thing that I could think of is this medication, I'm not taking any other medication. I am going to set up an appointment with my doctor this week to find out what to do. This medication has helped me a lot, but I don't want to end up bald!

G'day. I began taking effexor and within days was experiencing a strange sensation in my scalp. From there, clumps of hair started coming out. I thought it must be unrelated to the antidepressant because it was not a listed side effect - so I continued.

When i ceased taking the drug, my hair started to return - albeit finely. I find it amazing that the makers of effexor do not STATE this as a legitimate side effect, considering the large numbers of people experiencing hair loss!! :-(
