I've read lots about Paxil and Zoloft causing hair loss, and have heard of Prozac doing it. In my own experience, Celexa caused it the worst, followed by Zoloft and then Paxil. But, with the Prozac, at least, I stayed on it for a while and the hair loss stopped and grew back. You should add zinc and selenium (and other antioxidants) for this problem.

> hi there,
> Hope all is well.
> I feel very wierd writing this, but am on 225mg of Effexor XR for 6 months, and have lost 27kg. Recently though, I have been loosing handfulls of hair in the shower. It's not on the side-effect profile... (but these things often aren't!)
> Am I the only one?
> I'm 23 with long hair, so no jokes about me loosing my hair thru stress or old age!
> I really think it is from the Effexor. I am taking Lithium too, but been on that for couple of years with no probs.
> Any comments / advice?
> Thanx for the feed-back!
> Good luck all.
