If you do a search for "Xanax" and "hair loss," to learn about Xanax hair loss you will get literally millions of hits, many of which are questions from people asking, "does Xanax cause hair loss?"

The answer is no.

There is no mention of Xanax hair loss as a side effect on any website, including the official Pfizer site.

In fact, answering the question on AllExperts.com, Dr. Peter Panagotacos wrote about Xanax hair loss:

Relax!!! Xanax does not cause hair loss. One of the easier questions I've had to answer.

The myth surrounding Xanax hair loss could be a "chicken and egg" sort of thing. Xanax is used to treat anxiety, and anxiety could cause hair loss. Many people may not have noticed their hair loss before and attributed it to the Xanax.

So rest assured, as Dr. Panagotacos wrote on Xanax hair loss:

You do not need to find another reason to become anxious and panic.
