from Fred Bray [log in to unmask] Subject: Hair Loss & itchy skin A large increase (from 4 tablets to 8 tablets daily) of the dosage of Sinamet 25-100 CR over six plus months ago has recently produced very fine and brittle head and body hair, as well as the loss of much of the hair. Now I am noticing small insect like bites on my trunk, arms and legs which are very itchy particularly at night. Taking a hot shower or bath only makes it worse. I have seen two Dermatologists who have prescribed Hydro cortisone type creams which have some what helped with the itching. Has any body experienced the hair becoming fine resulting in thinning and loss? Thank you, Fred Bray [log in to unmask] FRED BRAY [log in to unmask] FRED BRAY
