Hair Loss And Anti-Depressants
Tagged: anti-depressants, drugs, hair loss, hair loss causesI was just going through some articles and discovered a few reports about people who are experiencing hair
loss from anti-depressants.
Further research reveals however, that hair loss by anti-depressants are actually rather rare. The problem is prevalent though, and the medications known to have this side effect generally are SSRI antidepressants. This includes Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft.
At times like these, both patient and doctor needs to determine which is a bigger concern. Stopping the medication may be dangerous for the mental well being of the patient but if self image is or bigger importance, then the patient may need to weigh out the odds with his or her doctor.
Has anyone experienced the hair thinning side effect from anti-depressants yet? Perhaps you would like to share about the experience and what you understand from the problem so others can learn from it? Just a suggestion. (:
