WoW I just figured out why I've been losing what looks like CLUMPS of hair every day..... Apparently hair loss is a side effect of Clonazepam, which I just happened to have been taking pretty much every day for a few weeks up until a couple weeks ago due to anxiety about my new job.
I *knew* it had to have been something other than just seasonal shed....
Ugh. :rolleyes:

At least now I know.

If anyone out there takes clonazepam or klonopin hair loss is definitely listed as a side effect.

Wow! That is nice to know, although I've taken the stuff for over a year w/ no hair loss. But, if I start shedding, I'll know what to suspect!

I was on that for a short while when I was a kid, and didn't notice any hair loss, but I didn't stay on it for very long--didn't work for me very well. :( Good luck with your situation and I hope things get better for you. It could be you are shedding hair due to stress too. Don't worry, it does grow back :)
