Does anyone have problems with zyprexa and hair loss?

i've been on zyprexa for almost 7 years and my hair is really thinning badly. i've tried other anti-psychotics but zyprexa is the only one that seems to help. i also take prozac and wellbutrin. i don't think those 2 cause hair loss. not to mention all the weight i've gained while taking the wonderful zyprexa. about 60 lbs total. anyone having this problem?Does anyone have problems with zyprexa and hair loss?
I don't know about the hair loss, but I gained about 70 pounds in a VERY short period of time while taking Zyprexa. I was given it because I was having a lot of trouble sleeping (BIG-TIME overkill), and I was CONSTANTLY starving. There's a lot of stuff out there online about this problem; as soon as I understood what was going on, I went off the stuff, and the weight came off as well.





My best advice to you is to talk with your doctor and/or pharmacist. Because of your weight gain, your estrogen levels could be fouled up, and that in turn can affect hair growth.





Good luck!
