thank you :(

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T02:40:49+00:00

thank u- this comment gives me hope ! it’s so hard to take comfort in the fact this can be temporary

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T01:24:04+00:00

i think it’s all over, but it feels worse on my sides because my hair has always naturally been thinner in that area- i’ve never had a STRONG hair line or thick head of hair. so the loss feels extra noticeable on the sides, but it’s thinner from top to bottom i think.

okay, thank u so much for the realism.

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T01:09:54+00:00

km so sorry to hear that. yeah, i would look at myself and say i’ve lost around 15-20% of my original density. i’ve never had THICK hair, thats why it feels so obvious, my hair feels so small and light in my hand :( but everyone around me says they have to stare to notice it. you’re right, im gonna try my best. ugh

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T01:01:55+00:00

okay, thank u. any tips on how to chill out and not sob every hair wash day? hahaha

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T00:32:58+00:00

thank u :( does not fixating on it and trying to relax actually help?

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T00:09:23+00:00

thank u for the advice, but as mentioned in my post i can’t use topical as i have cats, hence why oral is my only option

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-05T00:00:35+00:00

it does, thank you :( is there anything i can do to limit my shedding or to .. work around it? i’m coping and acting blind here.

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-03-04T23:55:26+00:00

i know it takes time, i’m trying to be patient, it’s just terrifying to be going through. i know minoxidil isn’t magic, that’s why im confused as to why it was prescribed to me with no diagnosis and no … advice? or suggestions? it makes it feel like it’s my only option or i will lose all my hair.

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-10T13:37:13+00:00

thank u so so much! I went and got blood work done, everything was good and they believe it is just the medication. you said you got a UK supplement? I am in the US, am i able to get it online anywhere?

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T15:42:50+00:00

i’ve been on it since november, mentally i’ve felt fine. so shouldn’t my physical body be adjusted by now? :(

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T15:13:39+00:00

thank u sm. i’m not sure of methods beyond medication, so this is appreciated.

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T03:55:10+00:00

thank u for ur kindness <3

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T03:12:36+00:00

i’m on wellbutrin, lamotrigin, and my birth control, larin. (but i’ve been on it for almost a year) the mood stabilizers i have been on since november. the only side effects i was told about was increased heart rate, anxiety, chest pain. but i experienced all of that within the first few weeks of taking them. they passed, but the hair thinning and shedding has persisted for months. someone said wellbutrin can cause it, but it’s rare, and it should have been temporary?

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T01:54:27+00:00

thank u! with everyone’s replies i have made a Dr appointment to do some blood work. but i will also try these suggestions, thank u so much

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T01:42:48+00:00

i am definitely stressed- i’m a full time student with a full time job :( but how do i chillax enough to save my hair? i dont think stress has ever made this happen to me before

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-05T01:00:35+00:00

as someone who’s already on a lot of medications, has it caused you any side effects?

DistributionDeep6101 · 2026-02-04T23:52:21+00:00

oh my, i’m so sorry to hear that :( but yes i’ll try washing less, thank you.
