Though this is a year past the response, I'll still add my two cents.  I'm 30, decently fit, and always had thick hair.  I started taking zoloft 2 weeks ago at 50 mg, and in the past 3 days, have lost a considerable amount of hair.  My hairline has receded and thinned out so dramatically that I'm afraid to pull my hair back because people will see my scalp.  Nothing else has changed in my life recently to cause that much of a difference in my hair.  I believe that zoloft is causing it.

As a registered nurse, I can help you understand the type of hair loss you suffer and the goals of your physician`s treatment plan. As someone who suffers alopecia, I can explain treatment options and coping with the disease. Part of coping with hair loss is finding ways to "look natural", and as the owner of Belk Wigs, I can recommend several different types of hair replacement options based on the specific needs you may have related to your particular type of hair loss.
