> Hair loss is definately a side affect of Remeron that I am having as well. However, it's been 10 1/2 mos now and it's slowing down and I can see the new hair growth, my hair is long so now I have all these short hairs on top so I know it's coming back and that the Remeron doesn't prevent regrowth.
I have been on remeron 60 mgs for about a year.The wt. gain I got on 30 and 45 went away on 60. We increased to 90 to help more with the slight noradrenergic effect it has at higher doses, and it helped. About 2 weeks after the dose increase I noticed hair loss sudden and severe and now still coming out, even after backing down to 75. It is encouraging that your hair started growing again.Was it a sudden loss? Did it just come back in on it's own? How long did it take for you to notice regrowth?
I am hoping it will stop on the lower dose.But if it can be just a temporary thing, I really felt better on the 90mgs.
I hope so.
