Hello everyone! So I'm feeling so much better as far as dizziness and vertigo goes. I'm not sure if I have slightly more hair loss or I'm just paying attention more or what but I'm so glad. Thank you everyone? 💜💜

When I started my Plaquinel I had a lot of dizziness and hair loss. It took a few months and it went away but I don't know if it was side effect to the drug or just a coincidence. Sorry not much help!
