I realize this is an old thread, but I had to comment since I can completely relate. I thought I was the only who experienced this issue with Celexa. Three years ago I was prescribed for depression after experiencing some traumatic events, and at the time I was drinking about 1 to 2 glasses of wine per night. About a month after I started the medication, I began drinking 1 to 2 *bottles* per night. I weaned myself off of the Celexa a year later because it made me want to sleep all the time, made my hair thin and I gained 20 pounds. I went from fit and attractive to unhealthy and ugly in just one year. Unfortunately I continued to drink heavily for another two years. I finally decided to stop drinking (41 days sober now!) and am really happy to begin my alcohol free life. I hope that with my healthier choices, my hair grows back to it's original thickness and 20 lbs comes off.
