Does overall health and medications affect PRP or other hair loss treatment results? (Photo)

Mellifluos72
Female 43. Thinning, hairline recession. Biopsy above right temple "could be consistent with early androgenetic alopecia". I am on medications SSRI, clonazepam, valtrex, and some steroid for low bp. Have been for many years. Told I can't take Spiro because of low bp. Does herpes virus, low bp make me less likely to respond to treatment like PRP? Afraid to try Rogaine. Want to do PRP if I am good candidat Advice on treatment and what treatments would work best?
