I am not aware of prozac causing this. Any hormonal change your body goes thru (pills, hrt, pregnancy) will elicit a change in your hair growth. That means that 3-6 months after the change, you will see an increase in hair loss. This will correct. Also, vitamin deficiency and thyroid dysfunction lead to hair loss. Hope this helps.
