Default Hair loss after stopping Metformin?

I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I stopped taking Met because frankly I don't need it...and I did have my period while on it but since there was no medical reason for me to take it I stopped just to see what my body did on it's own. I've been off it for a couple months now and get my AF every 35 days but one thing I've noticed since stopping Met is my hair is thinning out big time, has this happened to anyone else after going off Met? and if so did it stop eventually? while I was on Met I hardly ever found a hair anywhere and now it's practically falling out in clumps.

Oh no! I'm stopping metformin as well. I hope this doesn't happen to me. I mean, maybe it's not related, but sounds like it could be...


R things any better for you now?

LALL - sadly no it hasn't gotten any better, it's been very steady hairloss after I stopped Met...I actually feel like I've lost half my head of hair. I'm not IR so I didn't think stopping Met would be a big deal since I was only on it for a year to give it a try. Before Met I had no hair loss problems at all and have all my life had tons of hair...I stop taking Met and it's falling out in handfuls. I know you said you're stopping Met, I'm not trying to scare you or anything..for all I know the two things aren't even related in my case, just thought it was strange that i've never ever had hair loss issues and when I stop Met I lose so much.
