I need to talk about this because it’s stressing me out.
I started Wegovy back in January, and honestly, it’s been great for my weight-I’ve lost about 50 pounds, which is huge for me. But over the last month or so, I’ve noticed my hair is falling out like crazy. Like I’m talking handfuls in the shower, strands all over my pillow, and my brush looks like I’ve been grooming a shedding dog lol. It’s freaking me out!
I did some Googling (bad idea, I know) and saw that rapid weight loss can cause hair loss, but this feels excessive. Like, is this just my body adjusting, or is something wrong? I’ve also heard it could be stress or even a vitamin deficiency, but I’m not sure. Has anyone else gone through this? Did it stop on its own, or did you have to take supplements or do something specific? I’m worried I’m trading one problem for another, and I don’t want to end up bald over this. Thanks in advance.
