Does Strattera cause hair loss?

I was taking Strattera for about 6 months before my hair started falling out by the handful! I have always had long, thick, shiny hair – and all of a sudden one day – it started falling out! I had NO other weird side effects from this medication. At the urging of my OBGYN I stopped taking Strattera. My Psychiatrist said, “NO, that’s not a side effect.” Then, I found this page online. I’ve been off of the Strattera for almost a month now – and my hair is STILL falling out. I bet I’ve lost 1/2 the hair on my head… and it’s still falling out. If I would have known this was a possible side effect of the medicine – I NEVER would have even thought about taking it. Other than the hair-loss, this medication was wonderful for me. It helped me stay focused, decreased my anxiety, and helped me fall asleep at night.
