Spironolactone for hair loss - how effective?

aloha3123
In your practice/experience, how effective is Spironolactone at regrowing hair? I'm female and have been losing my hair for 2 years due to TE + AGA. I started Rogaine for women a year ago and it helped regrow a little but I am still shedding more than normal and I'm considering adding Spiro. My hair loss is all over but maybe more on top and crown. My hairline has not receeded.
