Thanks for the info. I have some here but haven't taken any in a long time. It might be the one I started losing my hair with.

I read up on all of my meds completely. If they cause hair loss and considerable weight gain, I go back to my Dr. and say no way. He's ok with it. He's a stickler for people trying to keep their weight down to stay in good health so he's ok with it.

I took that Marilax and gained about 7 lbs. in one week and read up on it and threw it out. It talked about considerable weight gain on it but I didn't think it would be in one week. Now I find every website that list all of the side effects on any med before I try it. Marilax is now non-prescription and I am wondering if the ingredient was taken out of it that causes the weight gain. I won't try it though to see.

I saw what Noravasc blood pressure med did to Bill so now I talk to anybody I know that's on blood pressure meds and tell them to stay away from it. Some people don't stop to think that attitude changes, weight gain, hair loss, and other things are caused by meds at times.

Your hair will come back, mine did. I lost most of mine in the front of my head near my bangs. My mom lost hers there and we use to think it was from hair color but I know now it was from some of the meds she was on.

I think in a desperation to get better and pain free we just don't think to ask the Dr. or read about some of these meds.

I hope that new med does the job for you without the bad side effects.
