Can I ask why you are on Klonopin? I was on it for IBS, but only 0.25 mg a day. I had memory problems on it along with feeling "lost" and tired. I have been off of it for almost a year now and those problems went away.

Maria, Yes, stress will do all sorts of weird things to your body, including hair loss. Hope you start feeling better soon!

Hey girl, stress will make your hair fall out ( I thought I was going bald at one point I got out the shower with a whole handful of hair that fell out) and can make your memory forgetful, also Klonopin can do some serious weird things to your body, I took it about 9 years ago and had serious issues it made me extremely violent to the point I tried to stab my sis with a fork and threw I forgot what it was at my mom's head needless to say the cops got called Meds affect ppl in very different ways. I don't understand why they would put you on both effexor and klonopin? (Effexor made me that 'totally out of it' feeling I was like a walking zombie, but again everyone is different. I also know that some meds including antidepresssants can take the pigment out of your hair as I am 22 and now have to color my hair due to tons of greys and my hair has become very thin from meds/stress and I am sure me coloring my hair about every 3 months doesnt help either...It could be stress or depending on how long you have been on the meds together it could be those. Your doc should be able to tell you and switch them if necessary...

Hi Maria! I have had periods of hair loss. It might be the pill. I know you lost a ton of weight recently. Are you eating normally now? Weight loss (quick) can do it. I hope you get an answer soon. maybe try a professional shampoo and conditioner. I like to use matrix products. I have lost so much hair from pg's and weight loss.
