Can benzodiazepines worsen hair loss or be bad to HT hairs?

Hello all

I suffer from general anxiety disorder. With this whole COVID issue and a few other problems in my life I've been having to depend more and more on my anxiety meds such as Xanax to get me through the day. I also sometimes need to take sleep meds such as Ambien at night. I am a little less than 2 months post op from my FUE and I'm wondering if these drugs in any way can worsen hair loss or harm my transplanted grafts?

Thanks

Hair loss is considered a side effect from some benzodiazapines.  It depends on the drug.  Research it on the net, but hair loss from Xanax is more common among women than men.  I doubt very much that anti-anxiety medications would damage transplanted grafts, but you should check with your prescribing doctor.
