> Hi Shadows, I've had the 1/3 hair loss like Racer described when I was on effexor. That grew back mostly, but I still seem to lose quit a bit periodically. The result is my hair has a lot of different lengths in it, and it looks a bit frizzy as a result. I found this website that seemed to have the best info:

1/3 hair loss? YIKES!!! Now, you *really* have me worried. My hair is fine and wavy. With having fine hair, if I lost that much you would certainly notice it. I would be too depressed to go out the door. :( I'm going to check out the link you've provided. Thanks!
