Can the combined use of antidepressants and antipsychotics, specifically escitalopram (Nexito) and olanzapine (Oleanz), cause severe hair loss in female patients?
While it is uncommon, both escitalopram (Nexito) and olanzapine (Oleanz) can occasionally lead to temporary hair thinning when used together. This is typically not permanent and often improves once your body adjusts or if the treatment is safely modified. At 30, other factors like stress, hormonal changes, or vitamin levels might also be contributing. Please do not stop your medications suddenly, as this can affect your health. I gently encourage you to consult your doctor.
