I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2001 and put on tramadol. I always had a full head of hair and real long hair. After being on tramadol for a year and a half I noticed my hair was getting thin and not growing as fast as it used to and I had just turned 30 in 2001. I have been on tramadol for 10 years and my hair has just slowly gotten thinner. I know a few other people that are taken tramadol and their hair has gotten thinner to. Has anyone else commented on thinning hair and they take tramadol. I'm not a member and this is my first time on this site... My name is Tia thank you for your time and I hope I get the answer I'm looking for.
Does taking tramadol cause your hair to get real thin..?

Tia, have you had your thyroid checked? Thinning hair can be a side effect of a thyroid problem. Getting a T3, T4, TSH, Thyroid Peroxidase AB and Thyroglobulin AB could be helpful. Please discuss this with your doctor. I hope you find your answer soon. Feel free to ask more questions. Let us know what you find out. You may end up helping someone else. Blessings, Rollerskater
