Does adipex cause hair loss?

I've been on Adipex for a few months to help with my weight. While it's helping, I've noticed my hair seems to be thinning. Could Adipex be causing this hair loss?

Adipex is a strong stimulant that can cause temporary hair thinning, usually because of rapid weight loss and nutritional gaps. Make sure you are taking your vitamins and eating enough protein while on it.

Hey, don't stress too much! The hair shedding is probably just because you're losing weight so fast on Adipex. It usually grows back once your body gets used to the change.

I was just reading up on this because a friend was considering Adipex. Many users on international forums have reported temporary hair thinning, mostly due to shock to the system from quick weight loss.

If you are losing hair while using this weight loss medicine, try to massage your scalp with warm amla or coconut oil weekly. Don't starve yourself completely; keep eating simple, protein-rich lentils.

Actually yaar, rapid weight loss puts a lot of stress on your system, which directly causes hair fall. It's not the pill itself, but the lack of proper food, so watch your diet.
