My hair has been falling out in clumps each day. I wash my hair and it looks like I used Nair there is so much hair in the drain. I have been racking my mind trying to figure out what the problem is. Today I had an Aha moment. My hair started falling out when I switched from Nexium to Prevacid (Lansoprazole). I started doing some searching, and sure enough there are lots of people with the same complaint. They too, had lost hair after taking Prevacid. Now I have to continue the research and see what Gerd medication I can use and not have the hair loss.
Have any of my readers had any experience with hair loss from Prevacid (Lansoprazole)? What medication did you switch to? I have heard lots of horror stories from being on Nexium long term, so I am trying to find something else.

About Me
- Heather
- I have spent most of my adult life( and now that I think about it) my entire life dealing with anxiety. Anxiety controls my entire life. I am never sure from one day to the next if I will be able to leave the house or answer the phone. Now add in Fibromyalgia and I spend most days in constant pain. Sleep is something that I always crave but never am satisfied. I toss and turn all night trying to get comfortable. Restless Leg Syndrome adds to the joy of trying to get a good night's sleep. My hair is falling out hand-fulls at a time. Stress is a major cause of flair ups. I have a daughter with special needs that include Autism, ADHD, Mood d/o-nos, and Obsessive Compulsive tendencies. I am also the caretaker of my 95 yr old grandmother with mental health issues of her own. Stress is a major part of my life. I was diagnosed with PCOS 13 yrs ago. After having a hysterectomy I had hoped for improvement. Of course that did not happen. You all know what they say about if it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all, right? I have found writing to be therapeutic, and hope to help others by letting them know, they are not alone.
