For what illness have you been started on Fluoxetine ? Not many patients have reported hair loss with this medicine.
Do share details of diagnosis and current symptoms for more help.

Thinning of hair or hair fall is not a recognized side effect of fluoxetine. Please see a psychiatrist in person for a further medication review
