Can Taking Lexapro Or Celexa Lead To Hair Loss In Perineum Area?
Years ago, I was on a medication called Lexapro or the sister version Celexa. It had two bad side effects for me. One was I could not get a decent erection. (I do want to be a man). The other was hair loss in my perineum area. I had a forest there. I felt really less a man.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It has been found that selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can induce hair loss as a rare and reversible side effect that may develop in the first few month of treatment and that is resolved after stopping the taking of the drug.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
