Does escitaloprám cause hair loss?

I am on diabetes meds and had to take this for a few months for anxiety. Personally, I didn't face hair loss, but I was very strict with my diet and almonds daily. Sometimes poor nutrition or fluctuating sugar levels also cause hair fall, so check that too. Keep your diet clean and discuss with your physician.

Bhai, with the 3 hours of sleep I get daily, my hair is flying away anyway, can't blame the escitalopram alone! But seriously, I've been on it for six months now. Haven't noticed any extra hair on my pillow than usual. It is mostly just the daily life stress doing it to us, no?

Please be very careful and keep your doctor in the loop about this. When I was on it, my hair started thinning badly, and I ignored it thinking it would pass. It turned out to be a complex hormonal imbalance triggered after I started the course. Better to get a clinical opinion before it increases.

I log all my health parameters on my tracker daily. I didn't see any correlation with hair thinning when I was on this medication for my anxiety. My sleep cycles and hydration levels remained steady too. Maybe track your daily water intake and protein for a few weeks to rule other things out?

I completely understand why you are asking this, I also panicked so much when I started my dosage. Every small change in my body made me feel like the medicine is ruining my health. Take a deep breath. Hair loss is actually quite rare with this, and even if it happens, it usually stops once your body adapts.
