Hi everyone I was just wanting to see if anyone out there was experiencing hair loss when taking metformin,

When I first saw your post, I had a little giggle. But I have been on metformin for 2 years now, and it got me thinking.i have noticed that my hair is defiantly thinner but no idea if it's related or just coincident

Yes me! I lost quite a lot first time round but it grew back again when my GP stopped prescribing it for me. I am on metformin again now and will see what happens this time round.

Here's an old thread which may be of use to you.
