He everyone - I too have lost a significant amount of hair. I took Phentermine from May to November until I noticed what was happening. I can only speak from my own experience, but I do have some advice.

I was only taking one pill a day (37.5), and sometimes just 3 times a week, and totally loved it from the get go. I am not taking it now, and am in the process of trying different herbal alternatives to phen., but I tell ya, there is nothing better than the real deal.

I do not think I can say that phent. alone is what caused my side effects. I was so thrilled at not being hungry, that I too would not eat as much as I should. Hence, my body naturally reacted in some way. I have lost close to 30 pounds, and I get sooo many compliments on how good I look now. Lots of women ask me how I did it and I tell them what worked for me. I always caution them on what I think I did wrong, and try to counsel. Everyone is looking for something that will work for them.

I have researched around as to how to solve my hair loss. I have come up with some things that I am trying, and maybe it will work for others out there as well. I can't remember the source of my information, but I think the book is called nutritional healing.

It advised taking flaxseed oil or evening primrose oil, this will improve hair texture and prevents dry brittle hair.
flaxseed is good for you anyway to get the omega fatty acids.

There is a product called Ultra Hair from Nature's Plus that you can find in any health food store. Take as directed. I was told however, that if you are already taking a good multi vitamin, you can skip this because you may just be doubling up on ingrediants already in your mulit. Choose either one.

I am also taking 1000 mg of Biotin every day.

In addition, I am taking a supplement called MSM, ( Methylsulfonylmethane) this reads that it helps in the builiding blocks of protein, helping in stronger hair. I am taking as directed on bottle.

I am going to try clean up my act, pay better attention to how I eat and be sure I eat enough. I am still very tempted to get back on phent. I live in a small town and the doctor's here won't prescribe it to me because I really don't need to lose any more weight, but I would like to always have some on hand for maintenance. I experienced the feeling of having no appetite, and the feeling of well being. I called them my happy pills. Never got jittery, anxious, or moody. It was the pill I had prayed for for so long. I expect it will take about a year for my hair to get back to where it was, but if I keep it up with the vitamins and supplements, it may come back in better shape than it was. Good luck to everyone. Hope this can help.
