Zepbound and Hair loss

I have been on Zepbound for exactly 1 year and started experiencing hair loss the last 5 months. My weight loss has not been rapid and it’s actually fluctuated the last 3 months since I have been determined to exercise and eat better instead of increasing my dose (2.5mg). I eat protein and take supplements. I would be curious to hear what your doctor says, I meet with my doctor next week. I love the empowerment I feel by taking the medication and the control I have over my eating and cravings, but I’m not willing to lose more hair over this so I’m considering weaning off. I’ve read online that hair growth products don’t work against GLP-1 hair loss. If anyone has any success stories, please share. I would also be curious to know if I have to quit taking the drug completely to begin hair regrowth. Or if I could reduce the dosage to every other week or monthly.

@cocobean603 I have been on zepbound for a year, as well. I have experienced hair loss over a period of time, not relating it to the zepbound. WOW! I have been at a loss trying to figure out what is going on. I will definitely talk to my doctor in February. Thank you for posting. Had no idea.
