Hair Loss and Cymbalta
I believe my hair is falling out from taking Cymbalta. I believe hair loss is a side effect of Cymbalta. Is it not? Though I am not on lithium or any other drug I am experiencing dry scalp and breaking out (pimples) on top of my head. My hair loss is on the top of my scalp from hairline to crown.
Will this come back? I am now taking HGH to help with it. Are there any other steps I can take to stop this and actually regrow what I have lost?
Thanks
Hair loss is listed as a rare side effect of Cymbalta (duloxetine HCI), and unfortunately I do not have enough experience with reversal of the hair loss from this drug. With the advice of your doctor, you can stop the drug or try an alternative to see the impact on your hair. You hair should be mapped out for miniaturization to be sure that one knows what is going on and if the hair loss corresponds to a genetic pattern.
For the readers that are wondering what Cymbalta is: Cymbalta is used for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and for the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP).
A full list of side effects can be found at WebMD.
The doctors don’t care its not their hair. Or their brain chemistry…these doctors have some nerve in putting people on this drugs who do not have a major depressive disorder…smh. So those in severe pain who become suicidal and killed themselves have eliminated another disabled person…sounds like a play out of Hitlers play book.
