I have been taking agonists (Permax then Neupro (?) now Requip) since 2001 and my hair has fallen out in clumps also, including eyelashes, eyebrows, arms and legs. I have been told more than once that it is not a side effect of meds but I have talked to too many others who have experienced the same thing to think it is unrelated. My thyroid is ok too. It's nice to hear minoxidil works, I had not heard that. I also take carba/levo which was started when the Permax was discontinued. The hair loss did not abate while taking only c/l.
