Hi Michael,
Do you notice hair loss from your head? My pdoc told me that nearly all of these medicines CAN cause SOME hair loss. Usually patients complain about hair loss from their heads, however. I had some hair loss from my head on Celexa, but it wasn't that bad. I didn't get any bald spots, but when I brushed my hair, much more hair would be on the brush bristles than prior to using Celexa. The worst hair loss I ever had was from Depakote (Valproic Acid). I may be wrong about this, but I wonder whether drug-induced hair loss would be so selective as to just affect the legs? I would think it would occur to hairs all over the body???
