Been on 50mg Zoloft for a month and raising it to 100mg soon, but it is making me lose loads of hair... When i shower clumps of strands come out and i have to stick them to the shower walls my hair is long and very thick and i love it, its the only thing i feel good about myself with. Idk what to do.

Im under a mental health thing where i am classified as a minor and cant stop my meds i have no choice they are controlled for me and legally i have to take them. But i want to stop zoloft now

Hey so sorry to hear...Topamax did that to me. Idk if your male or female, but I use generic Rogain from Walmart and what it does is help the hair from continuing to fallout. But, you have to stay on it for life or if you get off of it, then you'll actually loose more hair if you discontinue it. It's cheap and worth it to me for 10 bucks a month. Or there's Propecia or hair restoration. Good luck!

Hi 8888an8888

Hair loss is a known side-effect of Zoloft though it is not common (it affects about 1:100 to 1:1000 people who are on it, though usually only after some years).

Maybe talk with your care team about this - another anti-depressant might avoid that rare side-effect and also it might be worth getting checked out to see if there are other (not related to Zoloft) reasons for your hair loss.

All the best.
