By the way, doctor... My hair has been thinning out for the past decade or so, but since my doctor started me on Lipitor (atorvastatin) a few months ago for high cholesterol, I swear it's been falling out much faster. My doctor discounts the possibility, but I looked in the Physicians' desk reference (PDR) and alopecia is listed under "adverse reactions." What do you think?
