Brief Answer:
Fluoxetin!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this hair loss. I have reviewed your medications fully.
Fluoxetin is known to cause hair loss. However, this is a rare side effect. You may want to discuss this with your doctor if the hair loss is so much that you can't support.

I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be for more information or clarifications.
