Overall my stress level is WAY WAY WAY down from initial BD, but I continue to lose CLUMPS of hair daily!!!!
Now I already suffer from hormonal/age related thinning of hair and have over the last 25yr. But, the hairloss I had been experiencing had slowed down dramatically until now... and seriously its CLUMPS of hair daily.
It seems to be a side effect of the AD - which starts at the 2-4mo mark after taking.... uhm... HELLO!!! That is the time it started happening.
Now, supposedly its reversible BUT I already struggle with hormonal/age hair thinning so I'm quite anxious if it will actually be reversible.
Am I ready to stop the AD? IDK. Overall I feel better but I still have moments that I just want to cry my eyes out and I know the reason that I don't is the AD's make crying more difficult but not impossible.
Do not stop the ADs. Do so only under medical supervision and the way they advise. Stopping ADs can result in suicidal thoughts. It is better to be bald than to be dead. KC please schedule a DRs appointment. I'd also highly highly highly suggest getting a complete analysis with a psychiatrist. Notice, I didn't say psychologist. Psychiatrist are medical doctors and they know ADs inside and out. A complete evaluation with a psychiatrist will make sure you are on the right AD, at the right dosage, etc. He'll even order blood work to help with this prescription writing.
NOTE, this is not about therapy! I know you are resistant to that, this is about brain chemistry, stress, depression and medication. If you are seeing physiological signs (hair loss, etc) of any combination of those things, then a medical doctor trained in the science of brain chemistry and medications to control it will do you wonders.
