Invokana - Another UTI

I have been on Invokana for 2 months now, and it has done wonders for me. My fasting levels have never been lower, this morning 88 and it surely is helping with my weight loss. But I am having a hard time with the side effects, namely the UTIs. This is the second round of antibiotics for me. I just don't know if I can continue with this drug if I am going to have perpetual UTI infections.
Also, I am so dehydrated from it too. I get to the point of dizziness and I drink plenty of water all day. In fact, I am deliberately adding salt into my diet. For the past few days I have even split my 300mg tablet into 2, so that I am only taking 150mg. I hope that helps to relieve these side effects.
Lastly, although not a listed side effect, I notice that I have lost a significant amount of hair. Mostly diffuse thinning on the top. Not happy at all with that.
Anyone else having the same problems?
