by corlenbelspar, Aug 03, 2009 04:54AM

How likely is it to cause hair loss and is the hair loss it may have caused reversible?

D'oh! I'm sorry no one answered. I've never been on it, and don't know anything about it but thought I'd bump it to the top again :)

I can't say for sure but I have never heard of Geodon causing hair loss. I have been taking Geodon for years and still have a full head of hair. That probably didn't help too much. Sorry.

I just looked up side effects for it and there was nothing that said hair loss. I see my pdoc next Tues. and I will ask him.
