A member asked:

Could either klonopin, luvox, (fluvoxamine) or risperdol cause hair loss?

I've not seen it in my clinical experience either as a result of these medications. It is commonly seen in anxiety disorders, however, and can often be improved with underlying control of the disorder itself.

Yes, they all can: Hair loss can occur in 0.1% to 1% with Luvox and in 0.1% to 1% with Rispderidone. Transient hair loss may occur in 0.01% to 0.1% with Clonazepam.
