kayjay Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I know I have posted about hair loss. Right now I am losing hundreds of hairs every day. I think it a reaction to the horrible spring I had - intense episodes over the course of months. I also take klonopin and I need it. Do any of you attribute hair loss to this drug? I take .05 at bedtime... very small amount. I would have to be really convinced that this was my problem to even consider stopping. Sorry If I am "beating a dead horse" ewww gross expression. But I really don't want to be bald at 36! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lost hair from other things such as aging! LOL. If it works for you than stick with it. Have you only discovered this since starting the klonopin?Take care and be well,Rene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worththewords Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I take Klonopin and can't say I've ever had that problem either. Perhaps it is more hormonal, thyroid, or a deficiency of some type?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I take Klonopin also, and it does not cause hair loss for me either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipper Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 No hair loss, for me, because of Klonopin. Exercise is the very best medicine for hair loss, but we know that is very difficult for a lot of us. I care, Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've been on Klonopin/Clonazepam for about 10 years, and I've never noticed more loss than usual. Good luck and cheers,Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
