Epilim and hair loss
I have noticed since taking epilim, my hair seems to be falling out quite a bit. I'm finding more hair than normal in my bed, in my hairbrushes, on the floor, and especially in the shower after I've had a shower. I've read this is common side effect, and I'm obviously going to speak to my psychiatrist about it, but I'm not seeing him for another few weeks. Is the hair loss reversible? Has anyone else taking epilim experienced this?

Do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality

I imagine it is reversible, but I don't know anything about it I'm afraid. Have you thought about calling NHSdirect/NHS111?

It doesn't matter where you come from; it matters where you go.
No-one gets remembered for the things they didn't do. We won't all be here this time next year,
so while you can take a picture of us. We're definitely going to hell,
but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

I don't know if this is relevant but just wanted to share that my hair falls out an awful lot when I'm under stress. Once things have settled down it grows back, but I understand that it can be quite distressing when you've got big clumps of it coming out when you brush it etc!
My point was try not to let it stress you out too much because I've got myself caught in a bit of a visous circle with that before xx

Three cheers for love of the simplest kind. The coins I flip land on their sides.

I am on epillim and side effects, such as hair loss, may be able to be managed with dosage adjustments.
Sorry your having this problem but please try to wait till you see your doc sort it out. If its really getting you down you could ring your cmht and ask to speak to your psych on the phone or leave a message for him to get back to you.

Is it for Epilepsy? I work in care and have worked with people on Epilim and haven't come across this, but if it is happening for you then it's definitely worth having a chat with your doctor or psych.

You could run from someone you feared, you could try to fight someone you hated. All my reactions were geared toward those kinds of killers – the monsters, the enemies. When you loved the one who was killing you, it left you no options. How could you run, how could you fight, when doing so would hurt that beloved one? If your life was all you had to give your beloved, how could you not give it? If it was someone you truly loved?

Thankyou everyone - I have phoned my psych, because of this and a few other side effects of meds and issues I'm having and he's going to see me in the end of the week.
