What specific medication caused your hair loss and could you do anything to make it regrow? Did you change medication? Was it worse with only levodopa and did it help to take a combined PD medication? What did your neurologist or other doctors say about hair loss? I’d be grateful for all answers! Have a nice day and wish you all the best!!❤️🙏🏽❤️

I haven’t had any hair loss but i used to have very straight hair but it is getting curly. With a little help it gets very curly with a lot of body. It is at my shoulders. I am loving it

Hello dear friends who answered my questions! I still haven’t really found out how this site works..
Thank you Dale, I actually had read the article before that you suggested. From what I’ve learnt on the subject there is still a vast lack on knowledge and studies on the field and the hair thinning often strikes women. It really has to be further studied. I already googled A LOT. But thank you so much - I don’t really know who gets this answer - if you see it all three.. Still have to figure that out, about this site. Have a good day you all!

I have.been on carbidopa/levodopa for about eight months. I have not noticed any hair loss. But it has only been a short time I hope you can get some answers.

This article explains that hair loss is due to your medications and can be reversed with the removal of that particular medication.
