Hair Loss
by Nadine1372, Oct 23, 2009 02:25PM
I have Graves disease and I am taking Tapazole since 6 months. First 4 months, I was hyper and was taking 20mg/day. The last 2 months, I turned to Hypo and reduced the dose to 15mg/day then 10mg/day. Since I started being hypo, I am experiencing a rapid hair loss. I would say that I lost between 30-50% of my hair. I am applying Minixodil for women since one month and I have not seen any improvement.
Is this because of Graves Disease or is it a side effect of Tapazole. Is there any supplement that I should take to solve or at least improve my hair loss problem like Zinc or DHT Blockers or Iron?.

Zinc may help some. My doctor did say zinc could help. I just let it take it's course - some can't let that go on though.
A lot of Hashi's people suffer with hair loss.
Personally I had a few times where my hair was in the bath and an unusual amount but it sorted itself out in time.
Just how hypo have you gone on the Methimazole?
What are your levels?
