Hi all, I posted before about hair loss with Citalopram...
Im only on 10mg and I am noticing lots of hair coming out. My GP thinks its to do with my iron level which is now increasing due to iron tablets, my psychiatrist thinks its to do with my anxiety... I also take diazapam and have just started taking pregablin , but I also take 10mg of propananol a day...
I was on mirtazapine but Ive stopped that now... why am i

Low doses high doses of any meds ..Raj you have to take into consideration that you been a vegetarian taking low doses of beta blockers ..could play a part...why do you take propanol if you don't have high blood pressure..I know it's for slowing down your anxiety .but isn't all the other Medications you take enough..pardon my intake..

So what do you think is the culprit here ..either you have heart palpitations with no hair lost or the opposite.. there's pros and cons to these type of drug cocktails..I would change to a different beta blocker if I was you..

Hi Raj!
?I've had more hair falling out than what is usual for me since March. I do think mine is due to anxiety: I tend to run my fingers through my hair when my anxiety is high. I've been on Citalopram for 5 years up until day (switched meds today), so I don't think it's a direct cause of taking Citalopram; the hair falling out thing showed up when the Citalopram started to become less effective.
?If you haven't yet, you may want to have blood work done to check thyroid levels and hormone levels, just to rule all that out.
