I, too, lost hair due to ADs. I was on only 10 mg of Prozac due to PMS and within a month I was shedding like crazy. I not only lost a lot of hair on my head, but everywhere. I barely had any hair left on my arms or legs.
I discontinued taking the meds and my hair grew back immediately. From all the research I have done, Prozac is not known to do this, however, I am 100% positive in my case. I have read that this is a common side effect in other ADs however.
