Which ones have hair loss risk? (Anti-depressants & Hair Loss)
Personally, I think the best thing that you can do is pay attention if your daughter says she's experiencing any side effects (hair loss or anything). It's obvious you already are, though. Doctor's have a tendency to dismiss concerns as if it's no big deal. I don't care if it's a 1% possibility. If you're that 1%, it's a big deal! I wish they'd take a minute to imagine being in their patients shoes. I found an old day planner from 2005 the other day, it says on 12/12/05, "Make Dr. appt., losing a ton of hair, etc." No one has taken me seriously yet.
From what I've read, Lithium has the highest percentage of hair loss as a possible side effect. I've seen 12% a few times and 12-19% on one site.
