Hello...
I have been losing an incredible quantity of hair in all my body ,mainly in my head .
I lose very easy all the hair to the point that I can even see a hole abow my ears in both sides of my head . This is rare , this is the part of the head where we supossed to have the strongest hairI take Nardil 60mg and klonopin .5mg at night . None of this drugs seem to have these side effects
No one in my family is bold . So I think there must be something wrong with me.
I wonder is this could be related to the thiroid hormone ?
does somebody has suffered this problem ????

Hair loss is more commonly a symptom of hyperthyroidism, but it can occur in hypothyroidism as well. Is there any reason you chose thyroid function to focus on? You might be right.***************************************

>Hi scott , this is gonna sound stupid but in fact
I was diagnosticated with hypothiroidism 3 years ago.
I think this was caused by the Zyprexa . I had a thyroid study and my levels were a little low
The when I stopped taking the zyprexa I had another test and my levels were almost normal but still low .
My doctor gave me medicine one year ago , but I stop taking it because I did not feel any change in my mood
So Im not taking anything , and I have not make me a test since that time.what do you think scott???
