Discovered the cause of my hair thinning

[johnvee84]

Since my surgery I have been on warfarin, which is a blood thinner, I'm going to see about switching medication because I'm pretty sure this is causing it.

warfarin can't possibly be a legit medication name, lmfao

its a blood thinner, its also used to kill mice and rats by thinning their blood so they bleed internally

You should talk to your doctor and see what they think about you switching, but it's also just very common for someone your age to experience a receding hairline and thinning hair in general.

it started really bad after i started warfarin, so i figure thats whats causing it, apparently its a rare side effect, but it makes sense, because my hair was fine before that.

How long have you been on it for?

over 3 years, it doesnt seem to be getting thinner and it started shortly after my surgery which was when I started the medication, so I've pinpointed the medication as the culprit, i know theres some new gen meds with lower chance of thinning hair, i chose the ones im on now because its very cheap, my health plan covers meds though so im gonna see about switching.

Is that because you were born in 1984?

Good luck. If you end up switching and notice a differences, let us know on here so people can be aware of it as a potential side effect.
