Does Anyone Else Deal With Hair Loss?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Bixby, OK

I have very thin and blonde hair but I noticed since going back on seizure medication I have lost so much hair and it’s making me insecure. I don’t know if it’s stress, medicine, or both 😭

Lots of conditioner to help replenish the moisture in your hair might help. The medications are known for leaching the nutrients from our systems.

You can find out by using this website www.drugs.com and find out what are the side effects of the medications you are taking. They might be causing the thinning of hair or stress.

I have think hair, and am on many meds all together, but do notice at times that I feel like I'm shedding as much as my girls, cats, are. Yet I too take a med for my stress (PTSD), bipolar disorder, deep depression, short term memory loss, along with a few other med problems. It could be a side effect due to our meds, but we are all different. I would just talk to your Dr. But please know that you are not alone. Hugs 🤗

I spoke to my doctor it’s definitely stress induced. I’ve been trying to reduce stress to avoid hair loss/ migraines.
