Hello All -

I just don't know what to do with myself anymore. I had my hair loss controlled with spironolactone and then endured some medical issues and severe stress for about 8 months. I am still under stress which is why my hair is falling out again (likely). My dr. told me to continue spironolactone and start rogaine for women..

I started it on march 5th. my hair has been falling out LIKE crazy!!!!

I did read that the first 2 weeks you could lose hair, because new hair is pushing through. It's been past two weeks. I was just typing at my desk and felt a tingle..about 30 little hairs just dropped off my head!!! Given they are little i'm guessing they were grown by the use of rogaine..

My dr just told me to incease my spiron. and stay with the rogaine...

Has anyone else had this happen to them???
