Re: Does metformin cause hair loss?

I have noticed my hair grows less now that I am on Metformin. It's frustrating since my hair has stayed one length for about a year now. I was kinda hoping this symptom would improve after taking Metformin since in theory my hormones would be in better balance. My hair was at the middle of my back and now it won't grow past my shoulders.
