Does Klonopin cause hair loss?

My doctor recently prescribed me a low dose of Klonopin. The information that came with the prescription lists hair loss as one of the side effects. Does this happen often to people taking Klonopin?Does Klonopin cause hair loss?
I have personally seen many people who have complained of hair loss from Klonopin. Many of the anticonvulsant medications have this unfortunate side effect. In many cases in four to six weeks after stopping the loss stops.Does Klonopin cause hair loss?
I just started taking klonopin about a month ago and I have noticed a lot of hair loss which is when I did research and found that it does. It could be other factors , but I noticed my hair falling out and looking back it was around the time i started klonopin

I've taken it before, and I never had that side effect...mostly it makes you tired. I think hair loss is probably one of those really really rare side effects that they are just obligated to list.
No it does not cause hair loss.
no it doesnt happen often most side effects listed are rare
I was on klonopin and know many people who take it and no one that I know of has had this experience. This doesn't mean that it's not a side effect. When they test drugs for side effects if just one or two people have had this experience they have to list it by law.
