Citalopram/Celexa and Hair Loss

[Strawberryfields93]

Okay so around a year ago I started experiencing a fair bit of hair loss I put this down to bleaching it and dying it and then the following anxiety of knowing it was falling out. I was recently diagnosed with severe general anxiety and was put on citalopram/celexa. I've been on it just over a month and am now in 20mg. I'm terrified that my hair is starting to fall out due to it, I've seen it as a symptom and I don't want to be on it anymore. Is there an alternative that doesn't cause hair loss? I'm 18 and I have thick curly hair I can't stand losing it.

I didn't know it could cause hair loss(dry skin, etc..yes). Have you double checked that? I have learned you need to be careful what you read on the web. Drugs.com has no mention or hair loss with celexa. Alankay
