Hair Loss

I was diagnosed with hyperthroid about 2 years ago.  I've been on medication and about 2 months ago went off of it because my thyroid levels were normal.  Now I am starting to experience hair loss.  Has anyone else had this happen?

I'm confused about why you went off your meds.  Because your levels were normal?  That was with the meds, right?  Could you explain a little more.  We like lots of info on this board.  :)

Many people notice rapid hair loss as a symptom of their hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.

Antithyroid agents have been reported to cause hair loss : - carbimazole, Iodine, thiocyanate, thiouracil, Methimazole, propylthiouracil. (as well as many other drugs).

However,  before assuming it's your thyroid or your meds., always have any hair loss evaluated by a dermatologist or hair loss expert to rule out any other causes such as infection or other health conditions .
