Hair loss on starting Metformin
I stopped taking Yasmin (and spironolactone) and started on Metformin last July (trying to make a baby), and my hair literally clogged the bathtub drain for 3 months. It got noticeable enough for me to switch to a deep side part, to try to hide how thin it was. My doctor couldn't say whether it was from what I stopped taking, or what I'd started. Hair loss is supposed to be a side effect of bcp, so it seemed unfair that I was getting nailed after stopping it.
After 3 or 4 months, it did start to grow back in ---I've got noticeable new growth, I can only hope it continues.
