Taking hair vitimins and using a little olive
oil to massage into the scalp seems to have
stopped the hair loss.

Hi All, I'm new to this forum. I have been having alot of hair loss now for several months. I have pcos, but I think my hair loss is due to medicines that i am taking for anxiety and panic attacks. I take celexa, and clonazaepam, and seroquel. I think it may be the celexa, but my docs won't let me get off the meds. Does any one have any suggestions on how to stop the los, or regrow hair, while on meds? My hair is really short now, it has always been fine and thing, but now it's really!!!!!!!!!!fine and thin!!!!!!! any help or just a reply would be appreciated. thanks.

I have discovered this forum after searching the internet for hairloss alternatives. I am so thankful to know there are others like me who are struggling. Prior to this, I have struggled alone.

Four years ago my hairloss began again, this time severely, coinciding with a divorce and going on Wellbutrin. My hair has always been fine but I go through periods where it is plentiful and then it thins out. I seem to have struggled with some sort of hairloss since I was a teen. Looking back, it started with headache meds (Fiorinal) and antihistamines. Then, I noticed it in college, my freshman year, and then it thickened up again. I did not take meds but was very stressed. I noticed it again in my mid 20's; I had taken accutane for 3 months and I noticed it was very thin at one point. Then, in my 30's after 2 years of propanolol, I took zoloft (briefly) in my 30's and had a huge shed and stopped. And now, I only just made the Wellbutrin connection which I stopped 4 days ago with the help of my doctor. So far, no real problems with side effects.

In the last 4 years I went on Yasmin and Oral Spiro (150 mgs) after reading a book about hormonal imbalance. I had taken many tests on my thryroid, and seen various dermatologists who found nothing. It did work and the shedding did stop. But not completely and I noticed recently that my hair is very thin in the back which prompted me to go on the internet to see why this is happening.

I tried minoxydal but it made my heart race, and made my body itch. I starting taking hair growth vitamins and bought a few special shampoos and also bought Nicorel which did stop the shedding. I also have a laser comb which does make it look full.

So, I really hope it is the Wellbutrin. I just can't believe I never made the connection. Will it grow back after 4 years?
