Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Ginny, I did the same exact thing and cut off all my hair about a month ago. I must tell you that I love having the short hair because it really helps when you sweat so badly!! I also must say that my hair fell out terribly when I was on the neurontin and have not had a problem since I stopped taking it! There may be something related to that particular drug, because I really thought I was going to look like Kojak!!!!!!!(Boy am I old!!!) Well just a thought. Do you have any ideas about itching!!! When I take to much pain medication I want to rip my skin off and it makes me crazy! If you have any ideas please let me know, I would REALLY appreciate it! I hope we talk tomorrow and say high to Donna for me!! LOL and Best Wishes to you and the kids!!

Sometimes I wish I knew who my mom was and her medical hyst. Thanks for all the concern you guys. Hey with the ones taking neurontin. Does YOUR HAIR FALL OUT? Mine is going right down the drain? since I started it. luv laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I know my mom has been on neurontin for over a year and has had a problem with hair loss. Her dr. is slowly taking the dose of neuontin down and putting her on gabatril (similar but supposed to have fewer side effects). The last couple months her hair has actually started growing back in...so maybe it is something to do with the medication. Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
