Propecia and Zoloft

My question is about taking finasteride while taking an SSRI (Zoloft to be exact). Is there any interaction between these two medications that should be of any concern? I have been using Rogaine foam for a few months will little success (my problem is balding/thinning on the crown); and from everything I’m reading finasteride is a better, more effective option for the hair loss I am experiencing. I’m taking 50mg of zoloft daily, but for only 2 months now, for anxiety – the hair loss was going on way before. I am 38, and think what I am experiencing is somewhat normal for my age based on everyone else I know (who is my age), but if I can stop it that would be great. Thanks

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 document the progression of your treatment. There are rare reports of depression and mood alterations with Propecia so how this medicaion interacts with Zoloft is beyond my expertise. Discuss this with your prescribing doctor.
