Can Cymbalta cause hair loss? Will it grow back?
R asked:
I swear my hair is thinning and that I can see my scalp more than I could before. It’s freaking me out. (I’m 22 and female.) So: can Cymbalta cause hair loss and will it grow back? Will this side effect eventually go away, or will I have to go off the medication?
I’d hate to have to go off it because I think it might be helping at least a bit, and this would be the first medication to do so. (I’ve been trying to find the right medication for about 7 or 8 years.)

Ew. I hate all of these Anti-Depressants/Anxiety medications. Yes it will cause hair loss. It will grow back, maybe you should try asking to switch meds.

There might be other reasons for the thinning of your hair.
I take a thyroid medication as well as Cymbalta that I think might be making my hair thinner. A dermatologist might be able to check your scalp. Good Luck.
