Pardon me for the typo in my comment.

My point I was making in the first sentence is "After 13 years of being on Synthyroid, your hair should not be falling out now. "

Sorry about that.

they discovered the hypo b/c of a bald patch developed on scalp, I agree with stella, get your levels checked regularly, I have been on Synthroid, over 6 yrs, and just recently they had to up the dose to .137mc/day,  since on synth, my hair grew back,

After 13 yrs on the med I agree the changes of haor falling out would now start.

Get your TSH Free T3 and Free T4 tests done again.

You are not balanced right in my opinion.

I would have your levels checked again. I don't experience hair loss with synthroid. Good luck. If it continues and your are stable, might want to try something else;)

Sounds like you might be a bit hypo. By now you shouldn't be still losing hair. Also I really don't think it is wise to stop your Depokote. Did you do this by doctor's instruction?  
It might be best to see if your Synthroid needs adjusting. Get your levels checked.
Good luck.
