My Hair Is Falling Out. This Has Never Happened To
My hair is falling out. This has never happened to me before. I had thick hair now is is close to half its thickness. I am on multiple medications and I am wondering if it may be a side effect from one of them or a combo of them that is causing this. I am on 60mg ; 1x per day Cymbalta, Buspar 15mg 2 or 3times a day; flexeril 2x per day, norco 1 every 6 hours as needed, vyvanse 20 mg 1x per day; victoza 1.2mg per day injection; prilosec 20 mg 1x per day;miralax 3350 17gr 2x per day; hydrodiuril esidrix 25mg 1x per day;lipitor 40mg 1x per day. I injured my back 3 years ago and herniated 3 discs and had surgery and still get spinal injections and will soon be having the nerves cut and burned. I never took anything more than an occasional advil or Vicodin-(for migraines now use Maxalt 10mg when i have one) before the injury. I was told that some of the meds that i was on for lengthy periods like prednisone i was on for over a year and developed a type of allergic reaction and then they put me on gabapentin for a year 3 pills in the morning and 3 at night and also had developed the same thing; A lot of the meds have caused me to have to take other meds to counter react some of the reactions. So do any of these cause hair loss? I have developed Diabetes now and take the Victosa - this is the most recent addition.
