[angelbe]

I take lithium 300mg 2x day, my hair has become very thin and when i brush it  there's hair everywhere, dr. say's keep taking it, but it's not her hair falling out, what can i use to strenghten and regrow my hair.

I used a product called Nexus that I get at Great Clips. It thickened and strengthened my hair nicely. It smells like peppermint.

Hair loss is not a side effect of Lithium, but a thyroid disorder will cause hair loss.  See an Endocrinologist for an evaluation,  If anything is out of whack in our endocrine systen it impacts all our major organs, as well as causing anxiety and depression.  Take care.
