Can Cymbalta Cause Hair Loss?

Oh my god!!!!!! Yes it does my hair came out in clumps report it to fda my entire crown is gone ive been taking cymbalta for 9 months 60mg worked great for pain and depression but really got so sick of loosing my hair I just stopped the drug..

YES, IT DOES CAUSE HAIR LOSS! After taking it for 5 months to help with my firbromyalgia pain, I am losing my hair. I called Eli Lilly and they said that they did not have to report any side effects that were less than 5%.
If you have hair loss from this drug PLEASE contact them and the FDA. Patients have to start being more proactive and holding them accountable! The FDA form is easily filled out online and includes a postage paid return label. Why can't these drugs that help with pain have less serious side effects? The drug companies have to work harder.

I had been taking Cymbalta 60mg for a couple of months before I noticed my hair coming out. At first I thought it might be my thyroid and wasn't alarmed. I scheduled an appointment to have my TSH levels checked and they were fine. The doctor told me he didn't think it was the Cymbalta and recommended that I stay on the medication. After six months of major hair loss I just decreased my dosage and stopped. The hair loss continued for about a month but did eventually stop. I'm hoping that my normally thick hair returns to it's normal thickness.

I have been on Cymbalta 60mg for 4 months and my hair is thinning at an alarming rate.
I have an appointment with a dermatologist to see if there is another cause but I have always had long thick hair. It is about 1/3 of what it once was.

Yes.My dear friend has been on Cymbalta for a few months and has lost large patches of hair. Now as she trys to go off of it she is suffering terrible withdraw symptoms even while weaning off of it with her doctors help. This drug is so scary. Always try drugs that have been out on the market for a while first before trying new things. Also it is best to work with a phychiatrist to get your meds correct,not a family practice or OB doctor.

I have only used Cymbalta for 3 or 4 months and have quickly noticed my hair thinning...I am freaking out...so, I stopped Cymbalta, cold turkey, yup!  I have been feeling dizzy and some head aches for the past few days but nothing major.  I have been totally off now for about 9 days....no change in hair behavior so far....I am praying hard!!!

I took Cymbalta for 6 weeks and noticed my hair thinning soon after I started it.  I'd see gobs of hair on the floor, in the shower, etc.  Just running my fingers through my hair would cause a clump to fall out.  

I've been off Cymbalta for about a month now... My doc switched me to Effexor. The hair loss seems to be slowing... I'm hoping it all comes back.  I'm also taking a Chinese herb to help make my hair more healthy.  It's called Fo-Ti.

Cymbalta is used to treat depression and anxiety related problems. Hair loss during treatment with this drug has rare chance. This lose can be temporary and your hair can come back if the hair follicles are alive. Remember, the depression and anxiety themselves causes hair loss.
