I have hair loss that first start 8 years ago after getting off birth control pills, I since had gone back on a more "hair friendly" pill at the advice of my doctor and also started taking the antiandrogen aldactone, that seemed to do enough to keep my hair, although I never got back the hair I once had it was enough to get by. I can't remember when I first diagnosed with hyopthyrodism, but I think it was probably 4 years ago. I was put on Synthryoid at 80mcg. Last year at my annual checkup it was increased to 100mcg and then this year it was raised yet again to 112mcg. Incidently this year and last year were the worst hair loss years of my life.. I mean ever, even worse than the massive shedding that occurred from getting off the pill. I think the higher dosages are causing me to lose SOOO much hair. I heard that armour is a good choice for people that that negative side effects from synthoid so I'm looking into finding doctors that prescribe it, hoping this will stop the exacerbated hair loss shedding I've been having the last two years, outside of what I normally experienced from androgenetic alopecia.
