Sorry the title is so dramatic but it’s actually true.

I’ve been taking Mounjaro for six months and lost almost three stone. It has been quick but I’ve tried to prioritise protein with every meal and taking a multivitamin every day.
Literally overnight five weeks ago my hair just started shedding in clumps. And it’s showing no sign of stopping.
I was estimate from feeling the thickness I’ve lost around a third of my hair volume so far and it’s still coming out rapidly every day. It looks thin around the hairline, I can see through my parting into the scalp and I can feel that there’s almost no hair left behind my ears.
I’ve started taking collagen and pumpkin seed oil and adding a protein shake for an additional 20g of protein each day but I am stressing. My scalp is actually tingling and I’ve convinced myself it’s the hair roots dying off.
I need your help - anyone with experience of this, when does it end??? From what I read I can’t stop it???
Ive just started a new job and very soon I’m going to be this suddenly bald girl in the corner if it carries on.
I looked at buying minoxidil but some of the side effects look quite dangerous? And still not guaranteed to work.
I was finally feeling good about myself and now this happened and honestly I am devastated. I’m finding it quite distressing because I can’t even turn over in bed without 20 strands coming off my head.
I’m avoiding heat and overwashing, just loosely twisting it up into a claw grip to try and cover the patches.
Please can you share your experience if this has happened to you. Is there a magical elixir or anything else I should be doing/taking to help. Any magic shampoos, supplements, any reassurance that it eventually stops.
