MIGRAINE DRUG INDUCED HAIR LOSS
It would seem I am one of the few unlucky enough to suffer hair loss from medications.
I am currently on amytripteline which cause hair shedding on 70mg am now down to 60mg and it is better but an not sure it is cured
My question: I am due to start erenunab 140mg - however I have been reading its high incidence of hair loss - especially in those like me who are susceptible to this side effect
Has anyone suffered this - would it be unwise to take it?
Hi there
- thanks so much for your question. It really can be terrible to experience hair loss as a result of simply trying to find relief from migraine! But it definitely happens. As to your question- we have an entire forum related to the connection between Aimovig (erenumab) and hair loss: https://migraine.com/forums/hair-loss-aimovig. You also may find this of interest: https://migraine.com/living-migraine/hair-loss-tooth-decay. You are, unfortunately, not alone in dealing with this! I hope these resources prove helpful. We are here for you. Warmly- Holly -migraine.com team.
