I have been losing a lot of hair for the past 20 years. I have very thick hair so it isn’t noticeable, but i find my hairs everywhere. I jave been taking Zoloft for about 30 years- never thought about a connection between the two.

Yes, it seems the jury is still out on Zoloft causing hair loss. My psychiatric practitioner doesn’t believe there is a connection. However I have heard from doctors, nurses & other women that weight loss can cause it. But you have been on it 30 years. My 40 pound weight loss coincided with my hair loss. And ironically the start of Zoloft. So this is what I am experiencing the past year. All happening at the same time. I wish I could get a definitive cause of my hair loss. I, too, always had thick hair so it’s not that noticeable but I certainly can tell as well as my hair stylist. I was told stress plays a factor too as well as genetics. And aging. Wish I could get a definitive answer. Good luck to you in your hair loss journey.
