Hi,
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor service'.
I have reviewed your query and below is my advise.
Lyrica usually doesn't lead to hair loss as a side effects.
Moreover Drug induced hair loss is reversible and after cessation of therapy, hair growth occur again.
You have to rule out other causes for hair loss like uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid problem, anemia, chronic infection, alopecia aereta etc.
You can Consult nearby physician for detailed evaluation.
No other specific treatment recommended just now. Becosule like multivitamin can be taken empirically.
Hope this will help you.
Best regards.
