My endocrinologist put me on Metformin (extended release) for the treatment of insulin resistance. 500mg daily 1st week, 1000mg daily 2nd week, 1500mg 3rd week.

EXACTLY 2 weeks after starting it, I noticed my hair seemed to be falling out at a more rapid pace than usual. I counted the hairs and I get anywhere from 150-250 in a single day. They are full hairs, often with a root attached. I don’t count breakage.

My doc pulled me off the med for an unrelated reason, but the hair loss continues. I’ve been off the medication for about 2 weeks now. I had no issue with hair loss prior to this, so I’m not really buying the logic that it’s merely a coincidence.

I’m a little freaked out by all this. Why is this happening? What can I do?

(Note: I am 25, very active, and eat a healthy diet. I don’t think there are any nutritional deficits either.)
