Meds and HAIRLOSS

[wildflower28_2001]

Ok, my hair is falling out like crazy. I am 39 f taking copaxone, gabapentin, tizanadine, and sumatriptan primarily. Anyone else experiencing and have you had a talk with doc who linked it to any one or two meds?

I saw ppl talking about hairloss on here before, but can't find the old threads.

How bad does it get for you or had gotten for you?

Thanks!

Several different meds I've been on caused hair thinning...it usually reached a point where it leveled off. I haven't taken any of the meds you're on except the tizanidine but with the drugs that were causing me to lose hair, it was always listed as a side effect. the tizanidine doesn't seem to affect my hair.

BP meds are inclined to cause thinning hair, I know that betaseron lists hair loss as a possible side effect.

Hope you find a solution. I've heard biotin (vitamin H) can help with thinning hair.
