Taylor123:
It is quite likely to be the Effexor. It - along with ssris - can sometimes block the absorption of zinc. This can cause your normal hairs to shed more quickly than usual. I managed to stop the shedding by supplementing with zinc at 50mgs/day. Others use a combo of selenium and zinc. Check out "psychopharmacology tips" on this website for more info.
Pdocs claim hair is a rare symptom, but it is quite common, especially for women with longer hair who notice it more!!
best of luck,
