In reply to Etiology of SSRI induced hair loss., posted by psybintea on January 25, 2003, at 21:16:32
When I first starting ADs, they were TCAs. I've now been on a few different SSRIs for about 10 years. Yes, all ADs caused me to lose hair. I felt like I was shedding. I still lose tremendous amounts of hair, much more than what's considered normal, but strangely my hair hasn't gotten any thinner.
In my case, it seems that the life span of each hair is shorter (or something else weird going on) but my hair also grows very fast! So despite the increase of hair loss, I have as much as when I started. I hate this constant shedding though. I find hair everywhere, even combing it frequently to remove loose hair. I gave up worrying about it.
