valtrex hair loss

at this point it's really a chicken and the egg type thing. the vast majority of folks who take valtrex don't experience hair loss. most folks who do, experience it initially when diagnosed and go on valtrex and are incredibly stressed. for most , it does come back. I do know of less than a handful of folks who experienced hair loss while on valtrex, they could find no other cause for it and even after stopping the valtrex the hair loss did not stop.

Is hair loss a side effect of Valacyclovir/Valtrex when taken for suppressive therapy?

I got huge bold patch too, this is terrible.

t typically cause hair loss. Stress causes the hair loss some folks initially experience with herpes, not the antivirals.

On August 20-23 I was intimate with a man who has gh.He has herpes for 8 years and hasn't had a OB in 2 yrs. After he told me he has gh (located above his penis in the public hair area) I started to research herpes and feel symptoms. Timeline of events: 20-23 was intimate Diaherrea on the 25th – a few times since then(stress?) 27th tingle feeling started in my upper pubic hair area. Tingle lasted a week. 28th small pimple - no red around it and hair was growing Back from shaving.

Im not to comfortable with him, he never told me about valtrex possible side effects. I had look information of valtrex and my symptoms are very similar to valtrex side effects including confusion, agressive behavior, low state of consiousness, rash, nausea, allergic reactions and visual abnormalities. write to you later, have a nice day.

Since having the baby I have lost so much hair that friends have commented about the hair loss. Used to put my hair in a pony tail and twist the band 2x....now it takes 4x. Dr. took me off valtrex thinking that might be the cause... Tested my thyroid in January 2009. TSH was 1.46, Free T4 0.6. Retested in March of 2009 and TSH was 2.07, Free T4 0.6. My hairs loss is still very extreme...handfuls wen I wash my hair. Noticing a lot of bruising and fatigue.

I am currently taking Valtrex twice a day. I initially started taking Valtrex after I was diagnosed with HSV2 for three days for outbreak. Afterwards, I started experiencing bumps on my upper arms and chest area that would come and go within a couple of days...but appear back (it reminds you of heat bumps). My Dr. said I was probably having an adverse reaction so he put me on Valtrex once a day and told me to also take Benadryl. The bumps slightly started disappearing, but appeared back.

Low iron levels can cause hair loss. You might want to get that checked.

I'm losing hair too. Not in clumps but I clog the drain once a week from my hair loss. And all my friends said their hair was so full and healthy during pregnancy and after lost some. I get a ball of hair during evey wash and its not normal for me also my scalp itches like crazy and I don't have bugs lol o had my husband check lol!

It started freaking me out so my hubby looked it up and said the number one cause of hair loss in women is pregnancy...

I lost a ton my first pregnancy. I was taking OTC prenatals. This time around my doc recommended prescription prenatals and I haven't had any hair loss or breakage this time. And bonus, the prescription prenatals are free with Affordable Healthcare Act!

Especially after combing my hair,there is a ton of hair in the sink. However my hair seems to be growing as fast as it falls out so I have thickness still. Someone told me to drink more milk and I find on the days that I do I see less shedding.

It makes me depress everytime i see how plenty of hair i loss. I tried every hair fall shampoo but none of those worked. I don't wanna comb my hair anymore.

Is Anyone experiencing hair loss during pregnancy I thought I was Going to have this really beautiful hair but is not working out that way does it mean that I'm going to have a girl?

Ever since I got pregnant I noticed a lot of hair loss, my hair just falls like crazy! Has anybody else expirenced this?

I'm very early in my pregnancy and I've noticed some mild hair loss. I have a lot of hair so it's normal for me to shed but this is a lot more than usual. Anyone experience this during pregnancy? Or maybe its due to something else?

I actually posted about this a month or so ago. I have hair loss that really started post Tx. My hair didn't grow hardly at all during Tx, than about 6 weeks post Tx it really started falling out, probably lost 50%. Everyone says it should grow back fine after 6 months post Tx. I figure it is the least of my worries. Looking for my SVR12 in 3 weeks. Hang in there.

On a 12 week treatment with peg , ribavirin and sovaldi should I experience hair loss ? I am a hairstylist with very long thick hair ,still planning on working . Not planning to tell clients about treatment ,mostly due to fear they will not understand . How much hair loss should I expect?

Is anyone else experiencing hair loss, I wouldnt say extreme hair loss. But everytime I take a shower or comb my hair, so much falls out. And it just scares me that by the time im done with thia pregnancy im going to be bald. Im 26w5d.

5w 5d and have been having major hair loss in the past 2-3 weeks.. Is that normal at this stage??
