I lost hair taking Tagamet. It stopped when I stopped taking it. I just started zoloft a week or so ago, and I am worried because I read on the internet that hair loss could be a side effect. Oh well...When it rains, it pours... :)
I always thought that when I had a relapse, it was almost a good thing because it meant I got it over with and could push hard to do things again, and maybe make even more progress. Relapse/setbacks are normal part of any illness. When you are feeling better, you can get out there and start fresh!
Hey Heather sorry to hear your not feeling too good at the moment but youve come to the right place for support :)Its horrible when you go for a while without panic/anxiety then it hits you again im happy if i go 2 to 3 days without panic but you always feel like you are back to square one when it hits you again.As for the hair loss problem are you taking any sort of meds?It is normal to lose around 100 hairs a day but i would probably see a doctor just to make sure i dont know if it could be related to anxiety it hasnt happened to me personally but if anyone else has had it happen they will post to let you know.I have a psychologist who i see once a week and to be honest he teaches me the same sort of thing thats offered on this site called the panic proogram only its free ;)Id recomend you try it it has halped me a lot.I even drove 3 times last week something i havnt done for 3 months it was only short drives but none the less i drove!well enough of me rambling on hope to talk soon.Take care and remember one day at a time.

Hi everyone,
I have been panic attack free for about 4-5 months now and I relapsed tonight. What a disapointment! I woke up at 2:30 this morning with a pounding heart and everything else scarey that goes along with this disorder. I was wondering has anyone else experienced hair loss with this panic disorder? I am losing my hair and its driving me crazy. I normally have very thick hair and now my hair has become so thin. Everyday my hair gets thinner and It just keeps falling out. Help what can I do to stop it? Anyone have any answers for me? I have been trying to seek some sort of counseling recently because I felt this anxiety start to come back again, I knew it was coming. I dont know what to do anymore I just feel so alone with this thing.
Love,
Heather
