I am an otherwise healthy 28 yr old female who has been on Buspar and then Effexor over the past 2 1/2 mos for anxiety. In that time I noticed significant hair loss, especially when I combed or washed my hair. After having seen my doctor and a dermatologist, they both chalked it up to stress (even though I didn't feel any) because all of my blood work came back normal - they also confirmed, as did the pharmacist, that neither drug could be responsible for the hair loss. Then I decided to check on-line for any related research and came across this site 3 wks ago - after reading this and consulting with my doctor, I stopped taking the Effexor. However, my hair continues to fall out (more than the ave. 100 hairs/day)when I comb or wash - for those of you that stopped taking an anti-depressant, how long did it take for your hair to go back to a normal state? Any insight would be much appreciated! Thanks!
