HAIR LOSS....I am a 52 year old male, been on this medication for many years, at least 5. It has worked very well for me and a recent scope indicated no issues in the throat, esophagus or stomach. The side effect I am most concerned about is hair loss. My hair has thinned since I started taking it. No one in my family has a hair loss or thinning issue going back to great Grand Fathers. I am stopping this medication as of today. Does anyone know if hair growth returns after stopping this med?
