    I am experiencing excessive hair loss/thinning and I am taking Zometa and Tamoxifen.

    Has anyone else experienced the hair loss while taking these drugs?

      I have had handfuls come out but I have a lot to start with so you can't really tell. I know I have seen posts on youngsurvival.org about this and other women have had the same difficutly. I think when your menopause symptoms stop so does this. I haven't heard of anyone losing hair like when you do on chemotherapy.
