Answer: There should be no drug interaction with modafinil and finasteride. If you are concerned always follow up with your doctor.

Hair loss is fairly common and may even recover after a a period of stress of sickness ends. You must consult a hair loss doctor to discuss your concerns regarding hair loss and itchy scalp in detail.
Hormonal changes can cause hair loss but you need to address this with your OB/GYN doctor. IUD by itself is not always the primary cause. Drugs such as spironolactone are used for hair loss in women but is not always effective.
If you suddenly have hair loss after a vacation and have itching and tingly feeling on your scalp, see a doctor. You may have an infection such as head lice or ring worms. Otherwise it is just guesswork until you see a doctor.
