Hi all.
I started Lexapro two weeks ago. Not up to full 10 mg dose yet but it seems to be helping.
I had heard that sometimes SSRI's such as Lexapro cause hair loss. However I also heard that some people's drs tell them vitamins or supplements to take that help with that. (unfortunately mine didn't know about this.) I'm a woman and very sensitive about my hair to start with! Please, if you know of supplements to take or had any experience with this, please share! Thanks

5mg biotin will correct this problem.

Thanks so much!
I already take 1000 mcg of biotin a day. I guess I'll up that.
I really appreciate your responding.
hope all is well
