Has anyone experienced hair loss on lexapro?

I have been on Lexapro for about 3 months and the past 2 months have noticed my hair comming out in handfulls when i shower and also when I brush. My hair is so thin now. I stopped taking the Lexapro and swithched to Zoloft a week ago. How long until my hair stops falling out? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

    I have not had that experience on Lexapro and have been on it off and on for four years now.

    Did your doctor ask or suggest that you have a thyroid test done. Hair loss is one of the major symptoms of thyroid disorder, which can also cause depression and anxiety.

    I’ve been taking Lexapro for over a year and a half, and haven’t noticed any hair problem.

    I agree with the previous answer – check with your doctor and find out what’s causing the problem.

    Best of Luck to you :-)
