I read about a lady who had to wear a wig after 2 years on c/l. I’ve been on c/l a few months and my hair is falling out! I would like to know more about this also!

I take Carb/Levo 50-200mg extended release . I have been taking it for five years with no hair loss. This year I have lost almost half my hair. It had been shoulder length and healthy. I am going to the salon for a shorter style tomorrow. I am seeing more scalp then hair!
Take care and bless you

Very interesting question! I've been on car-lev for over 4 years but my hair was ok until about a year ago. I just assumed it was old age & diabetes causing my hair loss and thinning. Has anyone else heard about such a connection?
