roxy034Mar 1, 2015
i first noticed my hair thinning at age 27. I've been to a few different doctors. They all said it's genetic. My parent dont have thinning hair or grandparents. But i have Been searching online and i don't eat proper, like veggies or fruit. I always had my hair in pony tails or buns, tight. I've dyed my hair alot. The doctors did tests and everything was normal. I'm also on the depo shot. I read about people on it and they get thinning hair..but the doctors told me no on everything.

Taking "lots of tablets" for hair loss may not be in your best interest. See a doctor for a proper exam and explore treatment options based on your diagnosis with realistic expectations and goals.

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

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.

Hair is dead, so you really cannot "suffocate" the hairs. You can use concealers safely. If you have issues see a doctor for an exam.
