ativan and hair loss

t expect to see much weight loss, if any, and especially not so quickly. My appointment at the psychiatrist was on October 7 and when they had me get on the scale there, it read 131 lbs. I had a urologist appointment the next day, and the scale there read 133 (water weight fluctuations, I assume). I got my prescription filled and started taking the medicine on October 8: Wellbutrin 75 mg once per day, Topamax 25 mg twice per day (and Ativan 0.

Vicki gave you some good advice about speaking with our Dr. The memory loss and confusion is very understandable taking ativan and going through wd. actually the ativan should be tapered. it is notorious for memory loss complete wipe out. usually through drinking with them but if you are dehydrated and coming off opiates it is very probable. Congratulations on getting clean and learning about your addiction and the meds that feed it. Take good care of yourself.

My physicican has only prescribed the ativan - I have obtained the pain pills and xanax through friends because of the anxitety and pain associcated with divorce and loss of a close friend. I''m sure my doc will get it alll stratighteend out but cant get appointment for several days and dont want to to too much harm. Botttom line - the pain pills work best, xananx second, and ativan (which is presrcribed doesnt work to well).

Ask him about increasing the Zoloft and tapering off the Ativan. The Ativan can give you withdrawal and strange symptoms. Missing one dose does cause changes that you can feel. Good Luck. Please try not to be scared! Really there is nothing to fear here. You can try to get answers and you will find support on this site. You can taper off the Ativan, many people here have done it. So keep posting and let us know what is happening.

I was prescribed oxycodone many years (9)for my back and a few years earlier (11)ativan. Now I am not prescribed either and have had access to oxycotin and ativan for years. Problem is I want off both and my being able to get ativan is running out. I went to the local clinic and told them the truth, nothing was said about the opiates and I was giving a few days supply of ativan to get me through the weekend since this clinic visit was on a Friday night. Just 5 1mg tabs.

Plus I do suffer scalp issues and hair loss and it drives me nuts.

You seem very informative about sleep apnea. I've yet to be diagnosed but after a couple of months of researching my symptoms and a visit to the ER in 2 months, I've finally concluded that I have a severe case of Obstructive sleep apnea. Prior to dozing off I'd feel my lungs and stomach collapsing knocking all air out of me, causing my heart to palpitate and loss of oxygen to my head. I'd wake up in a panic gasping for air.

Only in the past 20 days, hair fall has gone up. Does hair straightening dry out the hair causing lack of moisture and thus hair fall?? I truly hope that this is temporary as you mentioned!!

I just finished Sovaldi and olysio and no hair loss at all, in fact hair looked great I do have hypothyroid which is familial, mother , daughters have it, Check your thyroid levels That can effect hair loss, dryness etc( even my eye brows and under arms thinned from hypothyroidism ) You may need to be on thyroid medication such as synthyroid if it is off

My hair has ALWAYS been so thick and moisturized and healthy and now its dry and frizzy and falling out! Its awful im so embarrassed it literally never stops falling out.

Has anyone heard of L-theanine and L-tyrosine. They are supposed to be natural remedies for stress. But I am wondering about them...I looked them up on Google but I am not getting a straight answer. At least not in my mind. I have been taking them for stress because I am maxed out on the stress lately and the anxiety. Not sure about them though. What I do know is that they are just supplements so they are none addictive. Anyone out there know anything about these products.

If your thyroid gland is overactive or underactive, your hair may fall out. This hair loss usually can be helped by treatment thyroid disease. Hair loss may occur if male or female hormones, known as androgens and estrogens, are out of balance. Correcting the hormone imbalance may stop your hair loss. Many women notice hair loss about 3 months after they've had a baby. This loss is also related to hormones.

Does Lithium cause Hair Loss? I just recently started it and I was wondering if it could be the reason my hair is breaking off so bad...I'm 22 I'd rather keep my hair...

I have seen a local Derm who said there was no scarring on my scalp and no real skin issues associated with my hair loss. In 2004 I took a course of Roaccutane for acne and noticed some thinning after the course finished. I was told that this was a known side effect, but that the hair would grow back. It has been over four years!!! My hair is uniformly thinned out across the entire scalp.

I have a 17 year old daughter who suffers from Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome and severe anxiety and panic attacks. She takes 1 mg of Ativan twice a day if needed when she feels an episode coming on or if an episode has started. In the past 9 weeks she has taken approximately 20 ativan when she was having an episode of vomiting or panic.

m natural with no chemicals in my hair and I have never had a problem with hair loss. I went from thick long hair to thin short hair. This is so sad. I'm not sure what to do because my skin has really cleared up from Doryx but if I continue to take it I will be bald with pretty skin! Not a great combination! Thanks for reviews!

t experienced hair loss but have heard this is a (fairly rare) side effect. You should notify your neurologist and report this adverse event to Shared Solutions. Is it possible for you to switch to another DMD if this becomes intolerable?

I have recently been on cymbalta for a few months and my hair loss was severe. In the morning my pillow was covered in hair. During the day my hair was constantly dropping. I dreaded washing my hair as the plug hole often became blocked. This side effect was giving me such stress.

Hi, Most people normally shed 50 to 100 hairs a day and this amount of hair loss should not cause noticeable thinning of the scalp hair. Hair thinning and loss could be due to increased rate of shedding compared to the rate of regrowth. This could be due to: hormonal changes, poor nutrition, diseases, certain medications, infections and stress.

t stop it either. Also, I have noticed that quiet a bit of hair comes out when I comb or brush my hair, and my hair seems course, like straw. I have horrible gas that I can't hold in because some of those muscles aren't working all the way, and that is really embarrassing. One thing that actually scares me is that I seem to jerk a lot. Nothing major, just those once in a while involuntary body jerks, except mine are getting more severe and more prevalent.

How likely is it to cause hair loss and is the hair loss it may have caused reversible?
