Mirtazapine and olanzapine

Question

Asked for Male, 34 Years

I've used mirtazapine and olanzapine for 4.5 months. It induced a diffuse hair loss on my scalp. I had short hair, so I didn't notice that the hair was falling quickly on time, and when I realized that, I stopped the medicine instantly. I want to know whether hair fall due to this medicine is temporary or permanent? How long is it will take to get my lost hair back?

Hairfall in not related to the medications you have mentioned. You could add up zinc supplements with Vitamin E and Biotin in your diet.
