Does Zoloft Cause Hair Loss?

Im not 100% sure but I do not think it would cause that affect so fast.

Zoloft donot cause hair-loss. But it reduces your appetite, due to which you may not get enough protein for you hairs. thats why hair loss can occur.
possible side effects of zoloft are :
irregular heartbeat or pulse; low blood pressure (dizziness, weakness); high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision); or chills or fever.
headache; nervousness, or anxiety; nausea, diarrhea, dry mouth, or changes in appetite or weight; sleepiness or insomnia; etc.

Yes, Zoloft causes hair loss. I am so tired of people/doctors saying that this is not true or is very uncommon because it is not. I have been on it for one year now after switching different med's for depression because of my hair falling out. My conclusion is that anti-depressants make hair fall out due to protein depletion. I hate it!

Where did your hair start to fall out? Mine is in the front. I am going to go to the dr when I get back from our trip. I have been on it for years and my hair loss is bad. I hope it grows back.

Most antidepressants contain fluoride. Fluoride suppresses the thyroid gland causing hair loss. When you have low thyroid function, one of the symptoms is hair loss. So when there are many complaints about hairloss with anti-depressants, my guess is it is from the fluoride. Prozac is 90% fluoride. I read this online.

i have just started taking this medication 50 mg does and i am terrified of losing my hair and would rather stop taking it as hairloss would be more of a concern for me than the initial problem

Sertraline/Zoloft in my experience does cause hairloss. I noticed my hair thinning over the past couple of months and then when I went to the hairdressers he commented on the amount of thinning that had taken place on top and was surprised at why and how quickly it was happening as I always had a good lot of hair on the top of my head. I was gutted as I had hoped I had been imagining it. I'm 32 but have had a good head of hair and of course this will start thinning with age but the rapid rate at which my hair was coming out didn't feel right somehow. I sat down and had a think as to whether anything i was doing could be causing it and then it hit me. The exact time I started taking Sertraline was the exact time my hair started to thin - it was too coincidental. I googled this and found others to have had the same experience with the drug. I have since taken myself off it - about 2 weeks ago and am dealing with the side effects but would much rather this than have my hair continue to thin at such a rate. My hair is still falling out at a ridiculous rate but i'm guessing this is due to the fact that i've only been off the drug for 2 weeks. I'll update once it's been a few months as to whether my hair has started to grow back.

Will, it has been a while since you posted here.. what is the update? once you stopped using Zoloft, did your hair recover at all? please let me know thanks
