Experiencing some significant hair loss and Ive been told that Prozac could be the link...has anyone else heard this or experienced this for themselves. Also, after stopping usage, did your hair grow back...thanks...pretty anxious about this.

Yes, it is documented that some people suffer temporary hair loss while taking prozac. Please note the key word here: temporary! So, yes, your hair will grow back when you discontinue the medication.
May I make a suggestion in the meantime? This will allay your anxiety and hopefully make you feel more comfortable. If you are male, ask your doctor about a prescription for propecia (sorry, this medication is for men only). Recent studies have shown that men on prozac who are also given propecia end up with no further loss of hair and a regrowth of what was lost. So, you can have your prozac and your hair too! Good luck!
