SSRI and hair loss?

stillwater97
I have been dealing with AGA now for 7 years. If I get on lexipro for my mental health if it induces telogen affluvium (hair shedding) when will that begin? In the second week of beginning of taking Lexipro? If I stop taking Lexipro would the hairs that are protected by finasteride that were not miniaturized at the time of taking Lexipro but was impacted by TE would they grow back? What about the hairs that are already miniaturized? Please answer all of the questions. Thank you!! :)
