Been on citlopram, my hair is very noticeably going at the front. I can see all my scalp. Anyone else experiencing this. I've read citlopram can cause hair loss iv stopped taking it. Hair loss is causing a lot of anxiety.

Hi,my hair has been go for years. Worse now I’m on Azatropine.

Took the step of buying a wig..ont wear it in the house,but it gives me loads of confidence when I go out,even if I feel rough!?

My tip.DONTbuy one from the. Internet.i did,the first 1 I got was ok,but had a few problems. So I googled a

Firm locally.

She gave me advice and I could try before I bought 1.

I recommended her to another lady who has lost all her hair.

She has got a wig and is pleased with it.

Have you discussed it with your GP

I was on Citalopram for quite a while. I didn't have a hair loss with it.

yep, my hair loss got real bad when i took Abilify. i could see my scalp up front. i switched to lamictal. it's only been a month so I'm not sure if my hair will grow back. it does make anxiety much worse. all i could think about was what ppl thought when they looked at me. i wear a wide head band now. you can get them at Amazon.com.

Sounds to me like all antidepressants make you lose your hair. I bought 3 wigs and can't seem to keep them on and so I don't leave the house, this medicaiton is awful.I am on prozack and lorazapam. This give me alot of anxiety since I am a 59 year old woman.
