In reply to Anyone lose hair with med weight loss?, posted by Rainbowlight on June 16, 2003, at 1:35:07
> I am wondering if my recent rapid hair loss might be caused by finally losing almost 25 pounds of my med induced weight. My doctor is stumped as to what is causing it. Has anyone else had this happen?
RBL, haven't seen one of your posts in awhile! You've been doing fairly well I gather. Yeah, tell us what your current meds are, and that might help. I've had some hair loss from Depakote, but it is sporadic, and it seems to have lessened a lot since I've added extra folic acid and a B-complex supplement. I hear zinc and selenium helps with drug-induced hair loss. It might *not* be drug-induced. Maybe eating less is putting a dent in your nutrition somehow? Nice hearing from you again--Mitch
