Hi Molly!

Thanks for the info!!! I take Prozac, but haven't noticed any real changes. I have had my hair cut by an older woman who said she can often tell when clients take prescription meds because it changes the texture of their hair.

Also, my normally med brown/dark dishwater blonde hair turned BLACK when I was pregnant with my daughter back in 1984. It gradually went back to its normal color after she was born. I also experienced a very itchy rash on my arms and legs the doctors told me sometimes happens in pregnancy....basically, I was "allergic" to the hormone difference of being pregnant. I didn't have either of these things happen when I was pregnant with my son, 8 1/2 years later. Weird what hormones and meds can do, huh?

Hugs,

Shelley spryte@dnsonline.net
