Has anyone else experienced hair loss which they feel is due to AD's? I thought that I was the only one until I found this site ==>
http://www.hairsite.com/discfem27_toc.htmIf you have had this problem, how long did it last? did you stop taking your AD? Did you see a doctor about and if so, which kind and how was it treated?
I'm not sure if I should see a Derm doc, or maybe a Psychopharmacologist since it was ADs which started it.
Ideas?

I'm not on Paxil anymore. But when I was, hair fell out like crazy. It would clog the shower drain. It would be all over me when I towel-dried after a shower. It stopped about 2 weeks after I quit the Paxil. The doc said some drugs do that and switching is the best way to handle it. I've tried lots of ADs and Paxil was the only one that had this effect on me.
