I too have been on Bystolic 2.5mg for over 1 year and have had dramatic hair loss. Getting a haircut and asking my Dr to change me to something different as it was today when I realized that's the only medicine change I've had in a long time. I loss handfuls of hair daily and have to clean my brush every time I use it and clean shower drain everytime I shower.

YES. Ive lost more than half my hair in just the first 6 weeks. Spent yesterday being fitted for a wig. I only take 5 mg but there is a limit to repulsive side effects we should be expected to endure.

Yes. I was on 5 mg of Bystolic for 2 1/2 years, and I suddenly realized my hair was rapidly thinning. Long story short, I freaked out over this, and my cardiologist (reluctantly) allowed me to quit Bystolic and to switch to Triamterene HCTZ. After 7 months, my hair is clearly regrowing. I can tell because the area of my head where I part my hair is completely filled in now with none of my scalp showing through, as it was previously. Also, I notice my hairline starts lower on my forehead now. I feel very, very good about this. I think Bystolic is a great drug for many people, but since it's a relatively new drug, all the side effects have yet to be documented.

From the few reviews I read briefly, no one mentioned hair loss while taking Bystolic. Hair loss does not appear to be a known side effect either ... but it could be a possibility.
