> I HAVE BEEN ON EFFEXOR NOW FOR 5 MONTHS AND IT HAS WORKED VERY WELL FOR ME. COULD ANYONE TELL ME IF THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED HAIR LOSS. IT CONSTANTLY COMES OUT WHEN I BRUSH IT AND I HAD NEVER NOTICED THAT BEFORE. ALSO DO YOU GRADUALLY INCREASE THE DOSAGE EVENTUALLY.
I have been on EffexorXR for 3 weeks (75mg)and have developed an incredibly itchy scalp. I had this happen to me a few years back when I was taking phenfen. Eventually my hair began to fall out. Once I stopped the phenfen the itching stopped and my hair grew back. I'm afraid it's happening again with the Effexor. I hate to stop taking it since it is working well for my depression. Has anyone else had this side effect?
