A member asked:

My doctor prescribed me with cymbalta (duloxetine). will it cause acne and hair loss? i experienced those side effects with wellbutrin xl.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should not: If it does, it is worth the risk. Acne can be managed; usually topical benzoyl peroxide is sufficient. It's difficult to know what to make of accounts of sudden hair loss in people on this medication; emotional turmoil can do this to people. Even if it is real, it is a small price to pay for relief of the terrible, private pain for which this medicine is usually prescribed. Be brave and go ahead.
