I stopped Elmiron about five months ago, as it wasn't helping and I was having horrible GI side effects (I had to have surgery because I had so much heartburn from it I damaged my esophagus).
My hair was also falling out, and that gradually slowed until about two months after quitting, when it stopped. I lost over 50% of my hair.
Now it is three months after it has quit falling out, five months after stopping the Elmiron, and still no regrowth. My doc says he doesn't know what to tell me, that regrowth usually happens pretty quickly after you stop the drug.
Has anyone else had this problem? I finally caved and bought a wig last week; goodness knows I'm not vain, but I have very fine hair to begin with, so it looks like I have NO hair at all.
So, anyone else who had the hair falling out, how long did it take for regrowth to begin?
