My doctor has wanted me to take lexapro for about 3 months now for what he considers stress related symptoms. I have(had) really thick long curly hair and over the past 2 - 3 months, I have lost a lot of it(not that noticeable to others, but definitely to me). He feels this is stress related also(all blood work normal). I had planned to start tonight, but then I thought I would check out if lexapro affected your hair and I have found many posts that it does. That is NOT what I need!! Has anyone(females) used antidepressants that did not affect your hair? I really need help here, but not anything that will make matters worse.
