I was actually looking that up too... I took Plan B a little over a year ago and since then I have had significant hair loss, although I have had lots and lots of stress in my life as well, so I don't know if it was that, which I took just the once, the two pills, I also have Hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine, and with all these things I really don't know what to rule out. Either the f'n family (sister and brother-in-law) causing this horrible nightmare stress that affected me like this or a combination of them and life's events also brought on by them.... as you can see and I kind of agree that it is mainly stress for me. But it can also be Plan B or Thyroid or any other weird ass pills out there, it's a messed up world now. I'm 26 year old female, and I have noticed too many young and old women losing hair nowadays.

NEW USER: Hi, I'm a 28 year old female and I have had to take Plan B twice, and have experienced significant hair loss after both instances. The first time was 5 years ago just after I had gotten off the pill. I got off the pill because I was concerned that it had triggered severe hair loss. I was diagnosed with alopecia areata after taking Plan B just the one time (and am convinced it was the hormone dosage in the pill), because I had so much hair loss. I've been off any type of hormone/pill since then, and in the last year have recovered all my hair - in fact, it grew back as thick as it was before I ever started taking the pill. Sadly, I had to take Plan B a month ago, and have had more hair loss in the last 3 weeks than ever in my life. I am terrified that this medication is re-triggering my alopecia and have absolutely no idea how to repair the damage this time around!
