Hair loss is listed as a rare side effect of Cymbalta (duloxetine HCI), and unfortunately I do not have enough experience with reversal of the hair loss from this drug. With the advice of your doctor, you can stop the drug or try an alternative to see the impact on your hair. You hair should […]

There is no particular dose of beta blockers that would cause more hair loss. More importantly, you may be confused by my prior posts. Many drugs can cause your ot lose hair, but medication is the LAST thing on the list of other, more common causes of hair loss. Medications (including beta blockers) do not […]
Hydroxyzine will not harm your hair transplant. Please consult with your hair transplant doctor or your psychiatrist if you have further concerns. You should never start or stop a medication without consulting your doctor. I am not your doctor.
As far as I am aware, Propecia (finasteride) does not have any interaction with other medications (including Zoloft). I do not know what you are experiencing and what type of hair loss you have. You should see a doctor if hair loss continues to be a problem and have a baseline miniaturization study to objectively […]
You should go to another doctor. If there are bumps behind the ears, then something is wrong. Without seeing you, there’s not much more I can offer. Sorry.
Hair shedding is uniform, but clearly when you massage the hair (in the shower) or abrade it on your pillow, the loose hair that is about to fall out, will fall out a few hours ahead of your genetic schedule. That is why we suggest that you do not really rub hard in the shower […]
You should have this conversation with your doctor. Anxiety with AGA does not bode well. Add to that medications that are known to have some hair loss side effect, and the problem is compounded. My heart goes out to you.
Shedding of hair after stopping the Propecia will take its toll on the weak hairs. There is a time when the hair will fall out and Propecia alters that time by delaying it. When you stop the drug, your normal hair loss will occur and continue until the worst of the miniaturized hairs fall out. […]
It works best when the hair loss is more recent. Men in their 50s generally have already passed the rapid hair loss phase, so the impact of this drug in the 50s is not as much as in the mid-20s. Anxiety is a known stress that makes genetic balding more rapid in many men, even […]
Synthroid could be a cause of hair loss. If it was the only cause of hair loss in your case, it should have been reversed with stopping the medication by now. Since you stopped taking it more than a year ago and did not grow your hair back, you must have some other factors involved […]
Stress contributes to hair loss in those genetically impacted. Finasteride (Propecia) works to block the hair loss and prevent it from happening in most men. Anything that reduces stress is also a good idea, so if counseling work for you, then go for it. The fear of hair transplantation is something that reflects general ignorance. […]
From the tone of your email, I can tell you are “petrified” (as you say) of going bald. However, I can also sense that you have a component of anxiety issues and the antidepressant medications may be beneficial. But, antidepressant medications are known to cause hair loss. You should start out by having a complete […]
Here are the answers to your questions: Yes, Propecia is working through a different mechanism and will have additive effect if being used with Rogaine, and will be still effective if used after stopping Rogaine. I am not sure if I understand your question, but if you are asking about side effects of medications, it […]
Xanax is not yet blamed for hair loss, but stress is. Some of the other medications you are taking could cause hair loss. Stress may have been accelerating the act of your balding genes. Although hair loss is reported with use of some prescribed medication, it is not easy to hold them solely responsible for […]
For some time now, some studies show a possible link between finasteride and depression. A recent article, titled “Finasteride induced depression: a prospective study”, discussed this connection and was published in BMC Clinical Pharmacology and appeared online in early October. Some of the relevant points from the article are: 5alpha-reductase is a critical enzyme in […]
