I've been taking met for about 4 weeks now, and have so far worked up to 750mg. I've noticed in the last couple of weeks that my hairloss has got alot worse.
I take mulitvitamins and an extra B12 capsule (1000mcg) as I've read met can cause B12 deficiency which in turn can lead to hairloss. I'm really upset as I also take spiro which has just about started getting my hairloss under control, and now it seems to have started up again with the met. I don't want to stop taking the met as soon I want to ttc, but I can't bear the thought of my hairloss getting worse again.
Has anyone elso experienced increased hairloss on met? Any suggestions on how to stop it? Or might it just stop after a few weeks when my body gets used to the met? Should I take more B12, or any other supplements?
I've actually noticed similar, I had a decrease in hairloss initially with the met.. but today when I had a bath I had sooooo much hair come out; it was just like old times. I've been taking 500mg of met now for a little over a month.
I too take a multivitamin every day, which has B12 in it. I don't know how to stop my hairloss either or whether it is just a case of waiting for our bodies to get used to the met.
I'm glad you posted this, I was debating posting something similar myself. Sorry I don't have any advice though, let's hope someone else does.
oh i'm so glad someone posted on hairloss! i just started met er about a month ago and i'm now up to 1500mg with little side effects (unless i'm bad and eat crap!). i haven't experienced any weight loss, but i'm definitely experiencing much hair loss!!
it started about a week ago and it's definitely like old times! all of a sudden i've got clumps of it in the shower and on my pillow. i actually freaked out last week and called my endo for an appointment to talk about it! that's next week, so i'll keep you posted!
i just don't think i can handle any more hair loss. before i was diagnosed with pcos i ended up loosing tons of hair that never came back and birth control at least stopped the rest from falling out. but now that i'm on met, it's happening all over again!
Yes, please do let us know what your endo says. I don't know what to do. If someone could reassure me it was just temporary hairloss while my body adjusts to the met, I might be prepared to stick with it a bit longer. But there's no way I can handle this hairloss going on indefinitely. I've got barely any left as it is.
I did a bit of an internet search. Nowhere lists hairloss as a side effect of met, although there are plenty of people out there who have reported it.
increased hairloss on met? 
me too!
