400867 tn?1371753094 Has anyone else experienced hair loss with Cymbalta? I swear it's making my hair fall out.
Avatar n tn I am totally off of meds and have been for 5 months. I feel the need to start my meds again but am terrified of the hair loss. My mohter is almost completely bald on top. She has never taken anxiety or depression meds but has needed them for years because she is totally stresses and jsut a miserably unhappy person. I wonder if the stress has beent he cause of her hair loss. I feel like I am my mom made over without the meds.
Avatar n tn Maybe Iam wrong but would like off the cymbalta but how ? Plus I do suffer scalp issues and hair loss and it drives me nuts.
Avatar m tn Last night I had some very weird experiences, including feeling like someone was pulling my hair and arms, I kept hearing laughter and crying, and it was loud enough that I kept being woken up. I have no history of hallucinations, and I'm trying to figure out if this is the new medication. Has anyone taking cymbalta had tactile hallucinations, or what were other peoples experience.
497950 tn?1255863927 I've been on Lamictal for three years and I'm doing well. I'm up to the max recommended dose of 400mg/day. But I take it with Li and Seroquel and Prozac. The only side effect I'm still having is hair loss. It's not dramatic but it's noticeable to me. Mostly lose a lot on my brush and in the shower. It's a little thin in the back, but I don't know if that's really something other people notice.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have suffered with migraines for many years & was placed on prophylactic meds-Cymbalta & Propranolol. About 3 months ago I developed Trigeminal Neuritis on my R side. I have to say it was the most painful affliction I ever experienced, even worse than the 2 spinal fusions I underwent! I was placed on Trileptal & am up to 600mg 2x/day, as well as continuing with Cymbalta & Propranolol.
Avatar n tn I took Zoloft for 8 years with good results, however the effect of the drug lessoned and I began trying newer medications ie, Wellbutrin, Effexor, Cymbalta, Triliptal, Lexapro, Lamictal, Luvox, all of which caused significant hair loss. I am now on Celexa and my hair is starting to fall out. It is very disappointing. I wish I could do without an antidepressant, but I know that I have Unipolar/Bipolar II disorder and without medication I have an extremely difficult time.
Avatar f tn my son just so happens to be here right now. he has been on cymbalta for two years now...after trying prozac and effexor. he has alot of anxiety also and it seems to work the best for him. i asked him about the side effects...and he said he had none...no brain zaps either. guess everyone is different on how things affect them. the prozac and effexor both made him more depressed.
1286779 tn?1400012806 And my mother does not want to leave this medication because its the only one that works for her burning feet. Has anybody else expirence hair loss with Lydrica?She also takes Cymbalta 60mg,lyrica 75mg, Nexuim 40mg, and Tramabol 50mg. What do you all suggest she get tested for ?
739988 tn?1386672969 The pharmacist is correct about Folic Acid but I don't know the amount. Topomax can cause hair loss. Topomax is actually marketed for weight loss as well. Topomax is a full mood stabilizer not an anti-depressent but its effect is generally not strong enough to use by itself so its generally prescribed as an adjunct (additional) mood stabilizer. The side effect to watch out for with Topomax is gastritis.
Avatar n tn i have taken just about every antidepressant out there with not much relief, some from cymbalta...i have never heard of hair loss being a side effect, is it really? just curious...
Avatar n tn Are you sure that the hair loss is being caused by the Welbutrin? I have never heard of any AD medication causing hair loss. Yes Welbutrine can be taken along with Zoloft. The two medications work very differently and odds of a drug interaction between the two is very low. I know several people taking the two together as prescribed by their Psychiatrist. You may be better off lowering that Welbutrin dosage and adding a low dosage of Zoloft. I would still consult with your P-doc first.
Avatar n tn Everytime I do any activity walking up stairs run the vacuum walk around the store I have excessive sweating of the back of the head my hair becomes soaking wet. It looks like i just steeped out of the shower i can ring the water from my hair my face gets flushed but if i sit down i cool off and then i am ok. I have had thyroid blood tests 3 times 2 times were normal 1 time was abnormal.
Avatar m tn I have a question is anyone out there on a high dose of cymbalta, I have been on 180mg p/day for a year, I decided too try and cut my dose back by 30mg today, and as the day went on I noticed my w/ds were getting bad so I took a 30mg dose and im back too feeling like i did when i woke up this morning which was great. Is there anyone who has experinced this, I mentioned this to my pharmisitist and she had never heard I have noticed this in the past also.
19507471 tn?1479001086 Four yrs. ago I had a very violent adverse reaction to the medication Cymbalta. I came to my doctor six months into starting this drug with complaints of dry skin and hair, involuntary weight loss, 2 missed periods, and mental confusion. I foolishly took her advice to double my dose (I started with 30mg) as she assured me that what I was describing was due only to stress. Not long after doing this I was a physical wreck.
Avatar f tn Well, try to get her OFF the Cymbalta; the physician is basically writing her off as "psych." Has she seen a GI Specialist? I would recommend she consult one for an Upper Endoscopy.

Avatar f tn Low iron levels can cause hair loss. You might want to get that checked.
Avatar f tn I'm losing hair too. Not in clumps but I clog the drain once a week from my hair loss. And all my friends said their hair was so full and healthy during pregnancy and after lost some. I get a ball of hair during evey wash and its not normal for me also my scalp itches like crazy and I don't have bugs lol o had my husband check lol!
Avatar f tn It started freaking me out so my hubby looked it up and said the number one cause of hair loss in women is pregnancy...
Avatar n tn I lost a ton my first pregnancy. I was taking OTC prenatals. This time around my doc recommended prescription prenatals and I haven't had any hair loss or breakage this time. And bonus, the prescription prenatals are free with Affordable Healthcare Act!
Avatar f tn Especially after combing my hair,there is a ton of hair in the sink. However my hair seems to be growing as fast as it falls out so I have thickness still. Someone told me to drink more milk and I find on the days that I do I see less shedding.
Avatar f tn It makes me depress everytime i see how plenty of hair i loss. I tried every hair fall shampoo but none of those worked. I don't wanna comb my hair anymore.
