TLDR Stopping Seroxat (paroxetine) treatment ended hair loss in a woman.

The document from 24 years ago describes a case of significant hair loss in a 51-year-old woman who was undergoing treatment with Seroxat (paroxetine). The hair loss ceased after the treatment was discontinued. The document mentions that there are two stages of alopecia, anagen and telogen effluvium, both of which can be linked to medication-related alopecia. However, the exact pathological mechanisms of drug-associated alopecia were not fully understood at the time of the study.
