How Can Hair Loss Due To Zoloft Intake Be Treated?
Hello. I was taking Zoloft for Depression. Then I tried Lexapro. Both drug drugs caused severe hair loss for me. I was thinking of taking 5 htp. Is that a safe alternative? Will it cause hair loss? I need to take something as I am having a really hard time emotionally and those drugs made me feel great but I would have been bald. Help please!
