Geodon and Hair Loss

[paranoid_cataclysm]

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 :)

Thanks.

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.

I have been on Geodon for about two years and my hair is coming out in handfuls. I have 5 baggies of hair so I'm going to see if I can get off of it because I read one of the studies was for my age group (47) said there was severe hair loss but no answer as if it would stop or not after discontinuation

It caused a lot of hair loss. I was on 60 mg for 3 months
