I have never heard of that medicine causing hair loss, so I would be sure first that you don't have something else going on. Is your hair in good shape now? I would be sure and find the cause of the hair loss and then maybe have a professional give you a good assessment of the condition your hair is in. You certainly don't want to lose more hair. Good luck.

 hair loss
by: hyperlexian

i have hair loss from the same beta blocker! it is not only on my head, but on my body too. that's where i first noticed it actually - first on my arms and private area, which seemed kind of cool, to be honest.

but then my hubby noticed it on my head, and finally it affected my eyebrows and lashes. it's been about 10% to 50%, depending on the area.

i'm now trying another beta blocker, atenolol, but it will be months before it could make any difference.

ANYWAYS lol, i dyed my hair, and although dyeing seems to stimulate some additional hair loss, it also thickens each hair shaft, so it's a trade-off. i decided to go ahead with it because my roots were drawing attention to my scalp, which emphasized my hair loss.

now i just need a new hairstyle...
