Hi! Phentermine was DEFINITELY the source of my hair loss. Doctors also tried to tell me that I wasn't getting enough vitamins, but I took multi vitamins every day and ate extra protien as a precaution. I started losing so much hair that I finally just stopped taking phentermine. The hair loss continued for a while after that, but eventually slowed & stopped (excessively). I started gaining some weight back and tried phentermine again. IMMEDIATELY I started losing hair! Once again I stopped the phen, and the hair loss, once again, stopped. I have been off the phen since December and the hair loss stopped...I still have some left over phen so I took some last week for some enery during a hectic week. AGAIN, the hair started coming out after the first day. There is NO DOUBT that phentermine causes hair loss. I do not know why it's not listed in their side effects! It should be. ALSO, FYI...I have experienced hair loss with herbals, such as Hydroxycut and Motabolife, and I was told that it's from the ingredient Chromium Picolinate. I do not know if that is true with everyone, but anything with the chromium has caused hair loss in ME. Hope this has helped!
