      in Question  7 upvotes 5 years ago
      A user suspects Ritalin is causing hair loss due to vasoconstriction and is considering trying Ginkgo Biloba after already taking a multivitamin and hair supplement. Another user mentions experiencing hair shedding with Vyvanse and Dexedrine.

      The user experienced hair loss starting at 19 and tried treatments like finasteride and minoxidil inconsistently. They later used dutasteride, PRP, and various hair loss lotions and supplements, but faced side effects and are unsure about continuing treatment.

      Hair loss approaches: 1) using treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, vitamins, and transplants, or 2) accepting hair loss, trying minimal treatments, and shaving head. Users share experiences and preferences between options.
