Portofino Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hi guys, So It's been awhile. I know that hair shedding is a huge and common problem. I was wondering if anyone was ever able to pinpoint or narrow it down and found something that worked. After five years I'm still having issues with excessive hair shedding. My Ferritin levels are low so I started supplementing for about a month but it still hasn't fixed it yet. I'm obviously going to give it more time but I was wondering if anyone founds something that worked. Thanks. Link to comment
Moderator getofflex Posted February 5, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2022 Hello. Do you believe you are having hair shedding due to withdrawing from psychiatric medications? This is a site for people who are wanting to get off of psychiatric drugs. If so, please let us know more about your drug history. Thank you. Please do not private message me or tag me. ***Please note this is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a doctor who understands psych meds and how to withdraw from them, if you can find one.
