Regina, they say the hair loss is reversible after you stop taking Propranolol.

I had full head of hair before I am a male aged 48 . I have stopped taking amloddopine as this is bad also. It's worse on the back and crown. I have been told to drop to 30 then 20 then 10 and stop. Please can anyone advise me

How long does it take the propranolol to get out of my system? I got off of propranolol 160mg after 14 months (November 24th, 2016) when the entire crown of my head thinned out with a couple of bald spots. Every time I refilled in the 5 months the pills would be different colors. I was devastated and withdrew from all social commitments. I have been through an emotional roller coaster because my hair was so thick and healthy. Most people thought it was a wig. Well since November I have been wearing a wig and my crown is just now showing signs of recovery. I just stop taking them which I don't recommend but the danger is over now and I feel great. I have been on a long journey and don't want any medications. I pray that God continues to help me find the spirit of infirmity, life and gifts of healing. Bless you all and I hear you in regards to talking your chances.

I am losing hair so rapidly that it is devastating. I'm feel that I will be totally bald. And I have gained a lot of weight. But I'm so stressed. I eat when I'm stressed. So don't know if I can say that is from the medication. I take 80 mg a day. But I have been taking it for some years.

I took propranol for just 2 months and lost a large amount of hair.
It's so thin now.
I was on a very low dose for migraines.
Will it grow back?
What can I do to promote growth?

I am a 26 year old healthy male, I've been taking 10mg propranolol once per day as needed for about 2 years as a public speaking beta blocker. It worked so well I started taking it 3-5 times per week, sometimes twice a day. My hair has become very thin, dry, weak and whispy. Everyone in my family on both sides has very thick full hair. Though the medication is amazing for what it was meant for, I am hoping that if I stop the medication my hair will grow thick and healthy again. I am also doing nioxin and hair vitamins. Does anybody have an idea how long it will take for my hair to come back if I discontinue the medication all together? What if I only take it once per week as really needed? My last dose was about a week ago, so I am just now starting to get off it.

I used to take Collagen even while taking it but my hair was still falling out.
I only need to take Inderal when doing strenuous activity so I can get off it anytime as my doctor said. Once I stopped taking it, my hair was back to growing in a month. It might take a little bit longer for hair to grow if you've been taking the medication for a long time thought but it will grow back.

Thank you for the reply and the reassurance! In your opinion if you take it as needed, do you think hair will still grow back if I were to take it in a limited once or twice a week manner? I am trying to get off it for at least a month or so to see what happens but I must admit the medication did its job well with my public speaking events

Re: Magic (# 33) Expand Referenced Message

I took it about 2 months. 2x a day. Honestly I thought I was going to go bald. In my case even if I did stop it, my hair was still so thin.. BUT at least the hair fall wasn't as extreme anymore I noticed it around 5 days after stopping it.. I suppose you can take it once a week if needed but if you've lost an amount of hair it will take some time before it thickens again. Goodluck and hope all goes well!

Start taking Biotin as a supplement to promote hair growth.
It helps.

Re: Cathy (# 34) Expand Referenced Message

For anyone reading this, please read my previous comments on this thread to catch up on my situation with propranolol, as well as my personal history, dosing, etc, if you'd like to follow my progress. I am going to try to post updates on my results, to hopefully get feedback as well as help other people out.

My last dose of propranolol was Wednesday 9/13/17. Since coming off of it 17 days ago, I've actually noticed my hair seems to falling out more. Before coming off it, I just noticed thinning, especially in the front/peak. You can see my scalp through my hair, and this seems to be getting worse as I now notice clumps of hair in my shower drain. I didn't really notice these clumps before. I am HOPING that my hair is now falling out bc since stopping the medication, perhaps my hair growth cycle is regenerating - so older, thinner, weaker hairs are now being pushed out by the regrowth of newer, stronger hairs that were not coming through before due to the medication. I am hoping this is the case, though I have not yet noticed any new hairs in their place. I suppose it'll take a little more time to see if this is the case.

Other things I am doing now, which may also be contributing, but I am washing my hair daily with the nioxin 2 noticeably thinning kit (shampoo, conditioner, scalp treatment) I am also using rogain, and taking 2 supplements (gnc ultranourishair for men and resvitale beauty 3, you can see the ingredients online if you look them up). For styling, I am using nioxin pro thick spray, hairspray, and gel for styling. When I wash my hair and apply the products, I'd like to note that I am being extremely delicate and gentle to not wash or dry my hair roughly.

Does anybody have any insight on the above hair growth cycle theory, as well as my hair care regimen? I will repost more results in a couple weeks. For anyone curious of my hair style and length, see G-Eazy or Zac Efron from Baywatch lolol.

Re: Magic (# 37) Expand Referenced Message

Have u consulted a dermotologist and have you had your thyroid hormones checked. You need to be taking supplement biotin. Not familiar with what u r using. Dr Oz had a show on this topic not so long ago and u can find that by googling Dr. Oz and i think u can do a search on the topic and watch on utube. I do remember that monaxinil 5 % was recommended. I wouldn't wash my hair but about every 3rd day, do not color or perm. I am fighting to save what hair i have left. I have to take propranolol for involuntary body movements but have cut dosage in half but it is ineffective so i will stop once i consult with my doctor.

My hair literally broke off. 14 inches as far as the weight gain its water weight went from 127 down to 110 pounds. From 180 mg to 60 mg. Just excercise regularly. Eat healthy. This medication cured my migraines. Still my blood pressure is up just recently quit smoking! Hoping this will be the answer.
