Do anti depressants cause hair loss?

[Hardyz100]

I’ve been diagnosed with depression anxiety and adhd last year and received a medicine. I’m wondering if this causes hair loss or other anti depressants?

Hi, welcome

It is a good question. We are peer advisers here and are not trained professional medical staff so I'm sorry I cant answer your question unless one of us has had that experience. Google might be a source for an answer or your local chemist.

All the best. TonyWK

Hi Hardyz100,

Welcome to the forum. Side effects to medications are a common question here on the forum. You are not alone. As people experience medications in different ways, I don’t respond specifically about a medication or their side effects.

As Tony WK mentioned, a good starting point is having a discussion about your medications with a Pharmacist. You can make an appointment at some Chemists so you can get a full review of all the medications your are taking. Another place to find more about this is by talking with your GP.

Wishing you the best possible outcome,

Nurse Jenn
