Ambien as a cause of hair loss

In my case, Ambien caused excessive hair loss with scalp irritation. I don’t believe my alarming hair fall out from root to end and tingly, itchy scalp problems which began precisely at the same time I started taking Ambien is just a coincidence. The shedding slowed dramatically after I stopped the Ambien as did the scalp discomfort. If this is a generic drug issue versus brand we’ll never know but I’m willing to bet it is not the later given it’s unaffordable cost for most of us and the 0% coverage with even the priciest of insurance plans. Try stopping for a week. You have nothing to lose except your hair.

Yes, Ambien is known to cause hair loss and your stopping it seems to prove the cause and effect.
