Hi all, I’m on a cocktail of drugs..,citalopram, diazapam, mitazapine, propananol... and ive started really loosing my hair... 

The last adddition to the drugs was citalopram.., Im slowly reducing mitazapine( down to 22.5mg) and ive managed to not take the propananol for a few days... however the hair is still falling... Im debating to stop citalopram but I’m not sure....

    Iam sure is not the celexa..you are on alot of Medications..what makes you think that is the celexa ..it could be a combination of all those meds..I had horrible joint pain for a while and I thought it was my celexa ..but guess what it wasn't ..it was my Ambien combine with celexa gave me joint pain..now I take lunesta and no joint pain..we are to quick to blame the celexa because of it's reputation..

      Hey lois.. Im hoping its not the celexa as that is my hope to rid of the anxiety...but I think its either the reduction in the Mirtz or the Cit... 

      Im going to the GP next week for a blood test just in case

      I’m coming off the Mirtz though.

    I doubt that is the Citalopram, that is quite a cocktail you're on!
