Hair Loss Hypothyroidism

does every one get hair loss from synthroid?

It seems like that is what I read. The symtoms of hypothyroidism include hair loss already so synthroid should improve the imbalace.

No. Nobody gets hair loss from synthroid. That’s not a side effect of synthroid. Synthroid is a rare drug that doesn’t actually have any side effects. Side effects are *unintentional* effects of a drug, unrelated to what the drug is supposed to do. You might read that tachycardia is a side effect if synthroid, but it isn’t. The purpose and intention of synthroid is to increase your T4, and hopefully your T3 also. So raising your T4 and T3 are INTENTIONAL effects. Not side effects. But if you take too much synthroid, you will raise your T4 and T3 too much. and your T4 and T3 will be too high. That is called hyperthyroidism and hyperthyroidism causes tachycardia. So taking an overdose of synthroid can cause tachycardia, but it isn’t a side effect.

Anyway, hair loss is caused by hypothyroidism, not synthroid. Your hair will stop falling out once you are euthyroid. Therefore, synthroid will cause your hair to STOP falling out. It doesn’t cause your
hair to fall out.

Many people believe this fallacy that synthroid causes hair loss though. It is what we call a propter hoc fallacy. You have hypothyroidism. You take synthroid because you have hypothyroidism. You have hair loss. And then people jump to the conclusion that the synthroid use cause the hair loss when it didn’t. Synthroid and hair loss are only have a correlation, not a causative relationship.

Hypothyroidism causes you to take synthroid.
Hypothyroidism causes hair loss.

So both synthroid use and hair loss are caused by hypothyroidism. Therefore, since they have a single cause, they are correlated. But that’s all the farther that you can go without committing a logical fallacy.
