I think hairloss from these pills is rare and if it happens then just quit taking the pills!

    One thing that concerns me is Dr Guyuron, a plastic surgeon, has done a study on identical twins who led different lifestyles. He observed the twin that took antidepressants looked older than the one that did not. He said it was cause antidepressants relax facial musccles too much for too long. I believe this to be true. These pills really relax my face and I can see how overtime you can lose that natural tone you get through expression. However I am taking them anyways. I figure that should be easy to reverse right? How can relaxed facial muscles cause permanent aging?
    That doesn't make a squirt of sense to me. Your skin loses elasticity over time. So, not making facial expression should probably be beneficial. Further, not being "stressed" should also have positive benefits on the aging process.

    I'm thinking it would need to be through some other pathway, if it were to promote aging.
