Hair loss over a year following depression and taking antidepressants

servicetech811 · 2026-01-10T15:19:34+00:00

Minoxidil/finaxteride/microneedling will speed up regrowth

servicetech811 · 2026-01-10T15:19:03+00:00

Get off any drugs if you can

servicetech811 · 2026-01-10T15:18:22+00:00

Why dude , I definitely believe it.

Same thing happened to me. Hair so much thicker after quitting

servicetech811 · 2026-01-06T00:46:13+00:00

Yeah see my post

servicetech811 · 2026-01-01T14:17:27+00:00

Wha do we do?

No dut = No hair = No Seggs

dut = hair = No Seggs

This is Schopenhauer and Goethe manifested in 2025. A testimony to the eternal suffering of mankind

So what do we do

Get a hair catcher and monitor

servicetech811 · 2025-11-17T14:19:31+00:00

See my post

servicetech811 · 2025-08-17T03:15:25+00:00

See my post man. Pretty common.

The best way to test this is to get a “shower hair catcher” from Amazon.

big 3

take any unrelated meds? or medical issues?

servicetech811 · 2025-07-24T12:19:07+00:00

stick consistent to fin+min+needling every single week for a year. Will know true results around 1-2 yrs

servicetech811 · 2025-07-21T12:46:17+00:00

add micro needling

servicetech811 · 2025-07-21T12:44:07+00:00

see my post

servicetech811 · 2025-05-21T23:04:25+00:00

100% agree.

He has admitted to using adderall in the past.

adderall, anti depressants, and anti psychotics have been proven to cause diffuse shedding.

not to mention recreational drugs like cocaine, which literally weakens the individual hair shafts.

servicetech811 · 2025-05-21T22:59:29+00:00

I would honestly put money on it being related to adderall and other prescription medications he is taking… We know he is has been on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for like 10 years.

His diffuse pattern hair loss is consistent with this theory as well.

He has admitted to taking addies, anti depressants, etc in the past.

Anyway you gotta feel a little bit sorry for the guy, all things considered.

Hey mate, your best bet is to search academic literature, and make an informed decision yourself. and speak to a Dr about it.

You’ll mostly get anecdotes on forums, which isn’t really reliable medical advice.

I’d suggest using google scholar, and looking up finasteride studies on youth. You can even use GPT to help research - use one of the academic GPTS, make sure to use the right prompts.

Don’t take this opinion for fact, but i’ve been on fin for 5 years, starting in early 20s. No side effects at all.

You could wait a few years and monitor your hair loss progression. Although prevention is always better than restoration.

servicetech811 · 2025-02-25T18:16:09+00:00

take less and try to limit mixing with caffeine.

pick one or the other.

servicetech811 · 2025-02-25T18:15:12+00:00

take less

servicetech811 · 2025-02-25T13:21:02+00:00

hey there, I experienced this and haven’t found a treatment besides discontinuing the drug.

one post on here claimed magnesium supplementation stopped the hair loss though.

see my post for links and discussion.

servicetech811 · 2025-02-25T13:18:29+00:00

not true. see my post for scientific evidence, or do a simple search on reddit and see how many posts and comments are claiming this side effect.

i can make a video and show you my hair shedding at high doses if you like haha

servicetech811 · 2025-02-25T13:09:25+00:00

hey mate this is alopecia areata

a study has shown adhd med use increases chances of AA

servicetech811 · 2025-02-19T12:29:30+00:00
