Hi Everyone,

My doc upped my Tapazole dosage from 10 mg. to 20mg. Then from 20 to 30. Since the change 2 weeks ago I have noticed a great deal of hair loss (in the shower drain and in the bathroom sink and floor after blowdrying. I think it is from all the meds. Help!

Hi Annette,


Since hair loss can be a symptom of hypothyroidism, possibly your levels are in that area now that you're taking a higher dose of Tapazole.
