I have been taking SInemet, Regasaline, Amantadine and a Statin...Anyone notice hair issues? If so what did you do? My hair was my crowning glory one part of my body that worked!

My hair started falling out and was dull and I had bloodwork done and was deficient in B12 and D3. You may want to get bloodwork done and see if any issues. Hair is no longer falling out and shiny since taking B12 and D3.

That is good news, are you taking ragasaline?

Yes, I noticed I have increased hair fall and texture is very soft. I take ragasaline and Neupro patch.

Yes when on amantadine and pramiprexole my hair thinned I stopped both, neither helped anyway. I have thick hair that really started to thin when I stopped it all came back. I had read online that those two drugs in had had the same effect on other women.

My hair has thinned and I was just thinking it was age...I am 66. I do take amantadine,

sinemet, clonazapam, zoloft, modifinal, ropinirole ER, and azilect. I do f ind that amantadine gives me relief from most of my cramping in my feet. I would not want to discontinue it. And sine met gives me the energy to get through the day. I'll put up with thin hair or get a wig if necessary...but not that thin yet.

Karolmilk.....please advise how much B12 and D3 do you take each day, and when.

My hair loss and thinning is driving me nuts! I take Sinemet CR. Thanks..
