Does Viibryd Cause Excessive Hair Loss?
I am a 62 year old female in excellent health. I have been taking a drug Vibryd for depression for about 3 years. I started w/10 mg per day, then up to 20, then 30. I have noticed my hair is thinning terribly - I looked up the side effects and hair loss is not one of them. I am in a panic and thought I would ask you if you are familiar with this drug? YYYY@YYYY

Hi , Thanks For Contacting
First of all no need to panic , relax .
This drug has no such side effects . For your hair thinning problem please get a test done called " Thyroid Function Test " ( TFTs ) .
Hypothroidism can lead to such kind of hair thinning which you are talking about .
May you get well soon dear .
Thanks !
