I think there is a correlation between tramadol & hair loss. Post op last yr I was taking 100mg tramadol evry 6 hrs & my hair was falling out. Cut back to 100mg once a day everything ok but pain control not sufficient. After 6 months I switched to tramadol extended release 200mg 1-2 times a day & 5 days later my hair loss started again. It grew back before so perhaps this happens at high level dosages. I'll need to lower to dosage to see if it stops. BTW.
Just a few days ago, I went in to another forum under Alopecia ( hair loss ) and one of the doctors responded to me and told me that methadone is a definite cause of hair loss. This made me feel so much better, I have been tapering off for 2 years now, going very very slow. But that doctor in the forum told me that when I am off the methadone my hair will grow back. I would assume this goes for pretty much all narcotics. I am glad to know I am not the only one losing hair.
i have been taking tramadol and i warn you that it is very addictive, i am detoxing right now. i also had have hair loss and i think it is the medication. on the bottle of tramadol it says you can have breathing problems and i have been reading about seizures because the drug elevates your blood pressure. good luck keep us posted!
I've had lower back pain that shoots down my leg since December that my Dr. masked with Tramadol and sent me on my way. It was supposed to be a pinched nerve that would correct itself eventually. Well it didn't and finally now, I decided to go to a chiropracter. He said from the x-rays and my discription, it looks like a cental bulging disc in the last lumbar and mayb the one above it. I may be going for an MRI.
Has anyone had skin problems with their dog? My boxer is 2 years old. We've taken our dog to the vet several times. They did blood work for hypothyroid and it came back clear. They also did skin scrapings several times. I was convinced it was mange but, that came back clear. Our dog is not lethargic, he doesn't itch or appear uncomfortable. The doctor prescribed Tramodol and Melatonin. Tramadol for pain which he doesn't have and Melatonin for hair loss.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
