I'm on a few prescription drugs and i thought it was the Metropolol. I have been on the metoprolol for 2.5 years and never noticed anything. I've been on the Cymbalta for about 6 months. A low dose of 20 mg. My hair has aways been very thick. I notice some thinning around the forehead. ## Hello, Mike! How are you? Sorry about the hair loss. It it most likely either due to age, or the Metoprolol. If you read deeply into the detailed side effects of it, hair loss is in there and can occur in both men and women that take it. I experienced it myself, when I tried it…..and being female with a glorious mane of red, I wasn't happy about it, either! Learn more Metoprolol details here. The best thing to do would be to talk to your doctor about it and ask them to prescribe an al...

Has anyone had hair loss after taking Mobic? ## I've been losing tons of hair the past month and just read this. My hairdresser said it's probably either stress or all the meds I'm on for an arthritic condition. I started taking Mobic at the end of February and am now wondering, because of your e-mail, if that is the culprit for all this hair loss. Have you found a definitive answer to the hair loss question yet? ## I started Mobic 3 months ago and am losing lots of hair each day. Mobic works great but will be bald soon if I cannot stop this. Any suggestions? ## I ended up being taken off Mobic because of drop in blood count and slow gastro bleed (had been taking Feldene for about nine months prior), so I can't take any anti-inflammatories anymore...not even OTC Motrin. ...

I had been taking Loestrin for years with no side effects then switched to Minastrin when they stopped prescribing /manufacturing Loestrin . Now taking Mibelas. I've developed alopecia and am also experiencing hair loss. The only thing that I can trace back to any kind of change is this drug. Anyone else having those types of side effects? Thx so much. ## That can be a side effect of most hormonal medications, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes, and mood changes. How much hair are you losing? You might need to switch to a different contraceptive. Are you on any other medications?

36 year old female, 2 kids(5 yrs. & 10 mos.) Had terrible post pardum depression and anxiety attacks. This medicine has helped me tremendously over the last 7 months BUT now my hair is falling out like crazy. Every time I wash my hair I lose like 20-30 strands. It is not as healthy as at was and much thinner. I started taking a women's multivitamin and a biotin supplement to help but I guess I am gonna have to call my psychiatrist and switch to another medication. Sucks because I don't want to have to deal with the emotional rollercoaster of adjusting to a new med. Anyone else seen the hair loss stop or does it just continue on this medication?? ## Hello, Apearson! How are you? Yes, others have also reported the alopecia from taking Viibryd and no, it doesn't seem to sto...

I am taking Levipil 500 mg + 500 mg in the morning as well as at night. The total dosage is 2000 mg in a whole day. I have been taking it for the last 3 yrs. I have symptoms of heavy hair loss. My question is how can I stop my hair fall as it is too much. ## This contains the active ingredient Levetiracetam, which is an anticonvulsant that is most commonly used to treat epilepsy. And as to hair loss, that is not listed as a normal side effect, but have you consulted your doctor? If not, you really should, to determine if it is from the medication or from something else. If it is caused by the medication, there are sometimes nutritional supplements that can help slow the hair loss, many people have had good luck with Biotin: However, you should check with your doctor or pharmacist, befor...

Does Mobic cause hair loss? I am losing lots of hair in brush, washing and on clothes. ## I started Mobic 3 months ago and it works great but am also losing a ton of hair.

Other side effects may also include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation.

I took five iron infusion to try to build up my blood count, but in the process my hair came out all over my head. My doctor said he looked up side effects and didn't see that one. Told him I would bring him a copy that it is so. Help. I know it comes back but does it need help? ## It actually isn't a listed side effect of supplementing your iron, it is usually caused by your being low in iron, so it was more than likely caused by the deficiency that required you to undergo the infusions. Rectifying the problem, since you've had the infusions, should help it to correct itself. There are some medications and supplements that may help, but they also carry the risk of side effects, so you may be better off to just let it grow back on its own. Are there any other questions? ## I...

My partner bashed me in the head and started the onset of complex partial seisures. I have tried Tegretol, Epelim & Topamax but all cause hair loss. I have stopped taking all medications for now and would like to find a drug that stops hair loss. My hair has started to grow back after stopping all drugs 8 months ago. ## If it has finally started growing back, then it may just be best to let it do it naturally, without medication interference. However, one that is used to increase hair growth is Spironolactone, it is used to treat many medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, as a diuretic, to replace potassium and etc. Hair growth is one of its side effects. You can learn more about it here: I've been taking the lowest dose available, for my blood pressure and low potass...

i am having a LARGE amount of hair loss since starting dextroamp-amphet er 20 mg. i do not see this as a common side effect on any of the lists i am finding. the hair loss started at the same time i started the medication, and i take no other meds? ## Have you talked to your doctor, or pharmacist? As you've noted, it isn't a typical side effect, but it is difficult to say how any medication may effect any given person that takes it. It is also possible that the hair loss could be due to something else entirely and not the medication, at all. It can occur due to stress, dietary changes and many other factors. Thus, you really do need to consult your doctor to get to the root of the problem. Learn more: Adderall Details ## Is hair lose a side effect of using Prexum Plus? ## I too ...
