Does anyone else taking Clonazepam and or Prozac/Fluoxetine have a problem with facial hair?

Hi, @ainsleigh - I actually take Prozac/fluoxetine, and I have not noted anything with my facial hair.

Some Mayo Clinic information on hirsutism (male-type hair growth in women) talks a bit about medications that might lead to this symptom in the "Causes" section https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hirsutism/symptoms-causes/syc-20354935

Here is a list of side effects of clonazepam https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/clonazepam-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20072102

And here is a list of side effects for fluoxetine https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/fluoxetine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20063952

Are you noting some increase in facial hair since you started on one of these medications?
