Celexa and hair loss? (Anti-depressants & Hair Loss)

posted by Laura, 17.11.2006, 21:06

Hi Jill:
I have to tell you, I am really proud of you for diving in and starting on the Effexor. For the past year or so, my docs have been telling me they think I should start on an AD but I have been TERRIFIED to start and lose more hair. PLUS, I have heard people have started them and feel worse !! Aren't there a couple of kinds of Effexor? Or maybe I am thinking of another AD. Is that 37.5 mg once a day? And are you truly feeling better?
What kind of hair loss do you have (AGA, TE, etc?)?

Thanks for responding. Just don't know what to do but DO know I want to start feeling better soon....
