Additional info for those of you on blood pressure medicine - ALWAYS wean off of it by reducing the milligrams slowly. Keep cutting pills in half and go a week at a time while weaning until you get to 1 mg. some pills may not be cut - especially capsules or extended release. Always consult your doctor before stopping BP meds. I am a registered nurse. Seeing my neurologist today to discuss other options.

I have been experiencing extreme hair loss. I am 48 years old and am starting menopause because my periods are very irregular and almost nonexistent. I started taking propanolol or year ago and it dawned on me that my hair loss may be due to this medication. I search the subject on Google and came across this discussion thread and am very afraid. I cannot believe that this medication that I have been taking for my migraines has not only helps my migraines but may contributed to shed my hair to more than half of what it was. I am no longer taking this as of today and see if that makes a difference.

Yes i've been taking propranolol for about 4 years at 10mg and almost 2 years ago i went all the way up to 160 for migraines. My hair started falling out by the handfulls after the birth of my twins. I thought it was a result of birth and then shortly I went on a 500 calorie diet and blamed my hair following out because of my calorie in take in order to loose weight. It wasn't until a couple of months ago that I decided to do a search or the medication and came across many sites where others where having same issues. My hair still continues to fall out i'm down to maybe a fourth of what I had. Although this medication has been a life saver for me in controlling my migraines i have decided to try to get off it with my doctors help. He recommened I stay on it because of my MVP and told me to add Topomax but after reading about that also having hair loss effects, i'm taking my changes and am going to try to wean myself off it before I go bald.

Propranolol is a beta blocker and almost all of the medications in this class are known to cause weight gain and hair loss as side effects in some people that take them.

Have you consulted your doctor?

You may want to talk to them about trying something different in this class, such as Carvedilol, which is known to cause fewer side effects.
