>1) I quit Zoloft for other reasons. I had the same problem with all SSRI's. It seems to be my body's way of saying, "Holy moly - what the heck is going on here???" My scalp has a panic attack! It stops after 2-3 months of taking it. I am now on Celexa and Effexor - after 2 months of taking those meds, all hair loss stopped. I continue to take both. The hair loss was never noticable to anyone except me and my hairdresser!
2) Don't be too worried about the people on the URL. No one ever re-posts to say the hair loss stopped. Once it stops, people are happy, they go on their merry way and don't go back to the URL to share the good news.
3) I think this is another sympton which goes very under-reported -- especially for men, since they think its part of a natural process for them.
