Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have loss of appetite and hair loss while on Methamphetamine , well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like genetic factor , fungal infection and hormonal changes. In your case it seems to me that the the hormonal factor or side effects of medicine you are taking is responsible for loss of appetite and hair loss , so consult the concern doctor and discuss the condition . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may order skin patch test , blood test and physical examination. Doctor may also prescribe supplements like Vitamin A ,Omega-3 and Vitamin E . Doctor may also recommend hair transplant with HUE technique. Doctor may also refer you to to gastroenterologist for gastric problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
