I have been on WB for four months for ADD, and have noted a very sudden loss of hair in the last 2 weeks. I thought it was due to stress, or perhaps finally getting male patter baldness. I noted that most of the responses on this site are from women which is incredibly helpful and significant. You would be less likely than men to dismiss this hair loss as a part of a normal part of the aging process, and so you would be more likely to see this as unusual and report it. Thanks for speaking up.
Although no one has corroborated this, I suggested to my doctor that perhaps part of they way WB works is elevating testoterone. Consider the effects:
- elevated heart rate - hair loss - increase sense of well being - highten social aggressiveness - elevated sex-drive - weight loss
All of these mirror the effects cause by low doses of testosterone.
I my own case, I\'ve notice something particularly unusual: my voice is deeper.
Have any of you ladies noted masculinizing effects? Missed periods, more hair on the upper lip, shorter tempers, less subcutaneous fat, feeling less intimidated in social situations, increase muscle mass? If so, I think we all need to have our circulating blood levels of testoterone, and Dihydroxy testoterone tested. I\'d be interested to hear the results, particularly from the women, as your baseline levels would normally be low. It may be however, that WB upregulates the receptors, not the hormone, in which case we wouldn\'t see anything.
Keep me posted. In the mean time, I\'m going to try propecia.
