Hair fall due to anxiety
Last 3 months I am experiencing anxiety due to this Covid issue & have lot of hair fall. I am taking 0.5 Restyl since last 3 months. Due to Restyl I also get sound sleep. If I comb my hair with my fingers then every time 4-5 small hair get stuck to the fingers. All my hameoglobin levels, 25 OH Vitamin D 51.6 (23 Feb 2020), B12 level are normal. Can Restyl 0.5 lead to hair fall since that is the only medicine that I am taking daily since last 3 months? Is taking Restyl 0.5 safe to get good sleep. Can it affect brain or any part of body if taken for longer time? Can anxiety be treated without medicines? Can it be cured completely?

Hi dear, first of all taking restyl is not a solution to get rid of anxiety as it’s a temporary relief and u need a proper assessment if you need other drugs to help you cope with the issue or you need psychotherapy for the same. Restyl alone will lead to dependence and will do harm on long term basis. Now the second issue of hair fall. Hair fall has become really common in the lockdown phase due to stress and a lot of people are experiencing it. So trying stress management techniques, healthy food options, balanced diet and supplements will help you reduce the hair fall. You can’t really blame restyl for hair fall. Anxiety can be treated by therapy as well as medications, depending on how severe the anxiety is, which can be commented after assessment and yes it can be treated and you can be symptom free if proper treatment is taken
