I take one pill every morning that is 100mg. I think it has kept my shedding down, but I'm still losing hair. What I don't like about spirnolactone is that it messes with lowering my blood pressure. Because of this, I feel faint on occasion. I also don't like the fact that it messes with my libido. Kind of sucks when you're in a serious relationship with someone who obviously has no problem with his libido. I haven't tried any of the products Arsh has mentioned. I'm considering the redken line, but I'm currently using some shampoo my dermatologist recommended. I had an appointment with my dermatologist this past week and she still believes that iron is the problem. She evaluated my hair yet again and said that it will take a year before I notice some change. She's holding hope that it isn't alopecia. She took my blood and my iron level is now at 67. So, I'll be taking iron supplements for the next month and half to get my level about 70-75. She says hair grows when our iron level is at least 70. So, we'll see. On another note, I've been evaluating some wigs on the market and discovered the Amy’s Presence wig line. Has anyone tried her wigs? Here is her website: http://www.amyspresence.com/ I'm so happy this hair loss website exists. I never realized how many women suffered from hair loss. We are all so brave and your words are very encouraging. I wish I was a genius, so I could cure hair loss for ya'll and everyone else in the world! I did start taking the spirnolactone.

It won't give you back the hair you won't, but it will let you deal with it, and put your best face forward in the outside world. Also, I know the redken styling line is excellent for thickening hair temporarily, that would really help with the proper styling.
