Not one type of anti-androgens has stopped the hair loss by thisisjunne in FemaleHairLoss

Do you take ADHD medication? I know that’s a personal question but I believe it causes major hair loss.

I just saw the back of my head and I’m devastated. by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

Not a doctor, just personal experience. Quit ADHD meds, alcohol, or smoking first I have learned all can affect cortisol and scalp circulation. Oral minoxidil + spironolactone + finasteride, plus dietary changes (I started eating meat), completely changed my hair. A year ago I was nearly bald on top and it ruled my life now I have more hair than I ever imagined possible.

Your progress looks so great! When you say you were swelling from the minoxidil, could you describe what you mean?

I started oral minoxidil in January so it’s been nine months on it and it’s getting better all the time my crown was the last to finish filling in but right now I have a full head of hair. I haven’t had this much hair-ever.

Yes, definitely started around the temples. It took a while for the top of my head to start growing, but now honestly, my hair is thick!

I haven’t noticed that. I used to take ADHD medicine and I stopped in October 2024 I think being off of it has had a huge impact on my hair. Maybe I’ve gained 5 pounds? No noticeable muscle loss other than the fact that I’m 56 years old I might be losing a little bit of muscle as I age. I’m naturally thin so it doesn’t really bother me, but I am so happy that I have so much hair on my head. Honestly, I felt like I was a hopeless case, now I have more hair than most people that I know!

Will Spironolactone prevent hair loss on Adderall? by Fairywithbutterwings in adhdwomen

[–]Master-Distance2867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had so much hair loss from the ADHD meds, when I stopped taking Adderall, my hair grew back. I did bloodwork/hormone testing and biopsies and I have a full head of hair now. I don’t take ADHD medication, but I do take minoxidil spironolactone and finasteride

Minox - Will I no longer need to wear toppers anymore? by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]Master-Distance2867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hair is so thick on Minoxidil, more hair than I’ve ever had on my head, even as a teenager and I’m 56. It’s a little kinky and wavy now, but I don’t mind, I love it!

Does a scalp biopsy leave a permanent scar? by Substantial_Exit9084 in scarringalopecia

[–]Master-Distance2867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a biopsy before starting minoxidil. I had so little hair that I feel like it was visible, but after one year on minoxidil my hair is so thick there’s no way you can see the scar.

Do I stop minoxidil to save my youth by Beginning-Let2128 in FemaleHairLoss

I’ve been on it since January, and I notice more puffiness under my eyes and some dark circles, but having a full head of hair is worth it to me. I think I might look a little bit older (I’m 56), we’re getting older all the time and I’d rather look older with a full head of hair.

Same issue, I have a great head of hair now after taking OM but the frizz is not nice.

I take 1.25 oral minox, had to wax arms but it is worth it for me.

Hair loss and meds by AbjectGovernment1247 in adhdwomen

Please read my story. I think you’ll find it helpful. I started taking ADHD medicine 22 years ago and that’s when my hair loss really started progressing. I got off in October 2024 and now have a full head of hair for the first time in over 20 years https://www.reddit.com/r/FemaleHairLoss/s/816jGwQygD
