Anyone else get bloating and abdominal pain from NETS or Lanreotide?

I had 3 Lanreotide injections, due for CT scan in June.
I noticed my hair falling out and every 2-3 days have trouble falling asleep.. Just bought Melatonin and will try it tonight. Also Vit.B12.
Anyone else has similar issues?

I have been taking Lanreotide for two years. My hair started falling out and I had fatigue. Turned out to be thyroid. This is related to a medicine I take to reduce the diarrhea caused by both NETs and lanreotide shots. The cholestyramine is great for this, but it absorbs all other medicines. I was taking other meds an hour and a half before the cholestyramine, but now I take synthroid in the morning and nothing else for several hours.
