Here are some true facts about hair loss, Celexa and antidepressants. You will see that there is a close link between these terms.

Celexa is an FDA approved drug that is used in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder and for depressive disorders. Like other medicines (Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil), Celexa is working by increasing the serotonin levels in the brain. Although it is an prescription drug, many people buy from online sources, without a prescription. Before you start taking Celexa (Citalopram) you should see a doctor, because there may be other alternatives available to you, or maybe a non drug treatment, to avoid the possible side effects of Celexa.

Celexa is one of the medicines that can lead to temporary or permanent hair loss. The explication is that this drug can lead to amino acid depletion and protein depletion.

But hair loss is a minor side effect. There are others more serious like : aggressiveness, panic attacks, agitation, severe restlessness, anxiety, trouble sleeping and mood changes. When these side effects occur, you should not stop taking by yourself the medicine. You must consult your doctor first. If you stop suddenly you may cause withdrawal symptoms and unpleasant side effects. Before you stop completely you should reduce gradually the dose.

Sure, Celexa is not the only one who can lead to hair loss. You should consider also Birth Control Pills Hormone and Anabolic steroids. Always consult a physician for the treatment options available.

Before you decide if you should use Celexa, it is best to balance its effectiveness and the possible side effects including hair loss. Whatever your questions are just talk with your physician. And remember that it is very important to buy Celexa only with a prescription, because you risk to get a wrong dosage.
