Hi; Joy first any of these can cause a dry mouth, That you just have to get used to using something to help with. or talk to the doctor. THEN the 2 that can cause hair loss would be both the Paxil, And the Strattera so this is something you are going to have to talk with your doctor about and decide what the course of action well be. Do not just stop these medications abruptly you need to talk with your doctor and see if one of these is worse than the other or another course of action. here is what it says from drugs.com
(Dermatologic
Seven cases of alopecia have been reported. In all cases, hair loss was eventually reversible.)
