Does citalopram cause hair loss?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It can, very rarely: In pre-market evaluation of citalopram, greater than .1% but less than 1% of patients had skin rashes and/or hair loss (alopecia). So this is a very rare side effect of the medication.

Celexa (citalopram): Not common, less than 1% cases, mild, reversible.
