Hair loss from benzos? Male pattern baldness?


Recommended Posts

[da...]

Did anyone (especially males) experience hair loss from benzos withdrawal?  If so, did it grow back?

I'm experiencing signs of male pattern baldness (hairline receding at the temples).  I'm not sure if this is related to benzo withdrawal or not but I could've sworn my hairline was not this bad?  I suppose it could've happened anyway as I aged but maybe benzo withdrawal accelerated the hairline loss, seeing as how it greatly messes with hormones.

After cold turkey, the first six months I lost a lot of hair. I could run my hands through it and it would fall out. I’m 58 years old male. It really started growing back at around the one year mark Full again I’m 18 months off benzos, but mine did grow back. hope this helps you.
