Female Hair Loss Has Continued For Months After Stopping Tramadol
(female)
I stopped taking Tramadol about 3-4 months ago but my hair is still falling out. My doctor had labs for my thyroid and it is fine.I am losing less hair but still more than normal. How long should this last?
I do not know why you would think Tramadol would be the cause of your hair loss. We’ve written about this before. There can be other medical factors, and since you are under the care of a physician, that is a good place to start. Otherwise, female hair loss in general is a frustrating case for both patient and physician since there is no specific treatment if all the medical issues have been ruled out.
If it is genetic, the only medication available for women is topical minoxidil (Rogaine). Many women suffer from thinning hair / hair loss due to age and hormonal changes associated with menopause. I don’t know enough about you to rule anything out, though.
Tramadol should not cause hair loss. I’ve taken that medication for many years and never had any problems with it, including increased hair loss. I think you have another problem to deal with. I wish you luck!!
