Thanks for the info. Mammo, I just got bloodwork for my thyroid done today so soon I shall know for sure. and Saraberry, I like the abiify too..it's the best bi polar and depressioon med I have tried so far.
I also take remeron. But, never had any hair loss with that. It's just been a recent occurence.
Hello, I took abilify for five years, One thing is that when you take ablilify it is added with another medication usually, and i lost all of my hair while taking it but not because of they abilify, it was from the depicote or what ever-eles i took, but after i got off the depecote, my hair grew back my hair is growing now, but if you havent took it very long you may be having other side effects like the shaking, i will say that dose go away and you get very much better.. I love abilify, and i'm not taking it right now but it' one that takes some getting used to and then you can be normal with no side effects.
I hope your hair dose better, mine is going slow but it' comming and it was comming during the time i took the meds, Depekote is what did it for me.
Hair loss is not listed as a side effect of Abilify. I would address this right away with an Endocrinologist, as it may be related to your thyroid which can also cause anxiety and depression. Hair coming out in small clumps is a symptom of an underlying condition and blood work can determine what this is. Don't stop the Abilify, but make the prescribing doctor aware of what you're experiencing........Abilify makers request that we report any "new" side effects not listed and this could possibly be a new one. It can be anything from an hormonal imbalance to nutritional deficiencies. An Endo can do very thorough blood work to determine what is going on. Best wishes.
