Not bald yet..

Ugh.  So my doctor did nothing for me aside from giving the number of a psychiatrist who can prescribe me appropriate anxiety medicine while I attempt to get pregnant.  I do not want to be on medicine anymore!  I am not anxious anymore.  I don't think the world will end in 2012.  I laugh at my ridiculous emergency kits.  I have not researched fire escape ladders or gas masks in over 5 months!  I don't constantly fear that I will be killed in a car accident.  My fear of flying is the only thing that remains.  And I can totally deal with that. 

Anyway, over the weekend I started wondering if Zyrtec can cause hair loss. I started taking it about a month ago for my allergies, and then about a week later I started noticing the hair loss. After several google searches I found that hair loss is a rare side effect to Zyrtec. It only happens in 2% of people, but I read some message boards with people complaining of hair loss, moodiness, weight gain, etc. Friday was the last time I took Zyrtec, and today I think I lost a little less hair in the shower (I put all of my hair from the shower on the wall each day so I can eyeball the amount lost). So I'm thinking it's either a side effect of stopping Zoloft, or it's a far fetched Zyrtec side effect. 
For now just have to ride out my crazy moodiness and hair loss and pray that I don't go bald.  Along with my prenatal vitamins and folic acid, I have started taking an omega 3 and a biotin supplement.  Biotin is supposed to keep skin, hair and nails looking healthy.  I also bought new shampoo with Nioxin (apparently it is good for thinning hair and scalp problems), and I've been using hair masks and attempting to drink more water. 

I seriously cannot be fat AND bald.  That is just a terrible combo.  At least Britney Spears had a decent body when she went crazy. So keep your fingers crossed that my hair stops falling out, or that I drop 30lbs in the next few weeks!
