I Take Prescription Drugs — Are Any Causing My Hair Loss?
I am a 29 year old male ive been on propecia since my was 20 my hair desity and hair line stayed the same until recently. moved to another state and started on a taking xanex for anxiety and stress i started noticing a great deal of diffuse hairloss all over the top of my head i stopped the xanex and got on dut,minox,spiro,tricomin and thought that if the hairloss was due to the drugs it would grow back to the way it was previously but it did not seem to change i am now on klonopin and think i am noticing more loss are benzoziapines known for hairloss and if so would stopping them revert my hair to its old appearance?
Xanax is not yet blamed for hair loss, but stress is. Some of the other medications you are taking could cause hair loss. Stress may have been accelerating the act of your balding genes. Although hair loss is reported with use of some prescribed medication, it is not easy to hold them solely responsible for hair loss and a combination of factors are involved. Hair loss is stated as a rare complication of Klonopin, but could it be the cause of your hair loss? Hard to tell!
Get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and make a distinction between genetic hair loss and drug induced hair loss. If there is a genetic pattern, the miniaturization study will show that clearly.
I have been on Xanax and all my hair is falling out. Its very upseting and I do beleive thats what it is. Is there anything else to take that does not have that effect?
Thank you
