Can prozac cause hair loss?

Yeah bro, I actually noticed some hair shedding when I first started Prozac. It was super annoying, but honestly, my mental health was way more important at that time. The shedding eventually slowed down after a couple of months once my body got used to it.

Don't stress too much, buddy! Hair loss from antidepressants is usually very temporary and reversible once your body adjusts or if you switch meds later under your doc's guidance. Just focus on feeling better mentally right now, hair will come back!

Actually, it can happen sometimes, yaar. A friend of mine faced this when he started his treatment. But don't stop the medicine on your own because that can cause bad withdrawal. Just talk to your doctor and they might change the brand or dose.

I just went through this last month! My hair was falling out in clumps, which made me so stressed. I spoke to my doctor, and she explained it's a temporary reaction called telogen effluvium. Now that my body has adapted, the shedding has finally stopped completely.

Hey, I totally relate to how stressful this can be! While hair loss is a known but rare side effect of Prozac, sometimes the actual anxiety and stress we are dealing with also causes hair fall. Try eating a protein-rich diet and definitely discuss this with your doctor.
