I just started Effexor XR (37.5mg) for daily anxiety and have already seen triple the amount of pillow hair than normal. In the shower I also had a huge amount of breakage where normally there was almost none. I need medicine for the anxiety, this I know. I am, however, unwilling to trade my hair for treatment. Has anyone on here been on Effexor? I have been on other SSRI's which caused some hairloss but definitely not this much right in the beginning. WHAT SHOULD I DO? If anyone has had this experience with Effexor or any other SSRI, does the breakage slow at all?? I am supplementing with two daily vitamins and 100mg of zinc as well as 50mcg of selenium. HELP!!!!
Can I mix propecia with Effexor? IMO this is somewhat senseless knowing that that the majority of the fallout is coming directly from the SSRI. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
