Without exaggeration, within a few months I had noticeable regrowth. It was almost like a word of wisdom. The withdrawal effects were so bad they switched me to Cipralex, which I stayed on for 6 months. I have not been to the doctors yet for it because i have been told to get more fiber and iron in my diet and see if there are any positive changes. Although this has been good for stableising my blood pressure my hair is still falling out. zoloft, and most importantly at the same time taken off my hormone replacement patch. I have decreased meds (thyrox) and wash every couple days with Nizoral 1% (otc). I just think the anatomy of hair is mystery and it is a shot in the dark for all doctors to figure it out. Another form of alopecia is called traction alopecia and it is common among women who wear their hair in braids, ponytails, or use extensions frequently because it pulls at the follicles and if done long enough, will not allow hair to grow back. I really hope this helps you as much as it has me.FYI — If you have anxiety or can’t deal with stress, my friend suggested I take LIQID CALCIUM .

Thank you.I have never had real thick hair, but with my hair loss I have lost so much hair that I have to wear a wig at all times when I go out. I had Telogen Effluvium from going off the pill 1.5 years ago. I’m so frustrated! I ask this because I started the Pristiq 9 months before the TE and LoEstrin 2 months before the TE. Guess the Doc was over-excited by this, as she increased my dosage to 0.50 and a month later to 0.75 and switched me to Synthroid. Now here I am, and even though my hair is still thin (everyone thinks it looks normal since I started out with a head of thick hair) I do see a lot of re growth. Do any of you take those medicines and are able to link your hair loss to being on those two medicines. I only used it for 10 days and applied once daily. It’s too coincidental for it not to be. If I can change any of the meds I’m on I will do so. 15107.4 360. My HBP is still uncontrolled even with 6 meds ( benazepril/cozaar/hydralazine/tekturna/toprol/coumadin).

But, it’s not stopping or slowing down, and it’s getting thinner and thinner after each washing, I can see the difference. So I start looking up thinning hair on the internet and I found out alot. I stopped the cymbalta and after 3 months my hair loss has subsided. I don’t know how many hairs I used to lose, but it is more. Then it slooooooowly started decreasing. Talk about depressed!!!

No he has not helped me at all in all honesty. Regards, I am also taking Synthroid and verapamil (for a long time) with no hair loss that I was aware of. Cardiologist put me on to a beta blocker which I discontinued after reading the side effects. I just wanted to share this with you for consideration. I take quite a few different medications, Xanax, Exalgo (Ext. Unbelievably, this past April (4 months after she began the Provigil), at 15 years of age, I noticed she was losing her hair. I hadn’t noticed it before, but I put my glasses on, went outside with a mirror, and it’s starting to grow back! I just wish that “stress” did not affect me so much!! They are both topical. I read in the generic Rogaine instructions that Rogaine does not help in cases of hair loss due to medications. it helps a lot w the itching and removes the andogens.Will look into Nixoral? My Endo chronologist refuse to believe me that it caused hair loss because it was not written in stone as a side effect so I fired her. Within a month, I began losing handfuls of hair at a frightening rate! I’m currently taking Topamax, Zoloft and Nexium. Can hair loss caused by meds be reversed?I started using Cymbalta for depression/anxiety and it was the best psychotropic drug I have been on to alleviate my symptoms plus help with aches and pains of RA; then came the hair-loss. I have tried the makeup on the top of my head, sprays, toppik as it is very thin. Oh and I also got yelled at for the state not paying Doctors for the services they provide, saying he’s going broke because of it. Did you by chance go off of it after taking it for a while?When I went off Vivelle Dot and Prometrium, my hair loss started. I saw the doctor again about a year ago and he said the same old thing. i even question their methods? Anyways, I’ve always had long, lovely hair and feel like I’m just too young to be worrying about this. Also my hair has “miniaturized”- the majority of my long hairs is much thinner in diameter and really has hardly any substance at all (very “cob-web like”).
