A member asked:
Curly hair is getting thinner,falling a whole lot more than usual, oily scalp no matter what shampoo i use. could it be antidepressant side effect or?

Not typical: While the list of side effects from anti-depressants is long enough, hair problems is not a frequently reported. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid gland) comes to mind as a potential cause of this. A good Dermatologist should be able to help you sort this out; I recommend you make an appointment.
