community Has anyone with high prolactin taken meds to lower it and seen hair regrowth?

5 upvotes 8 months ago

High prolactin levels may contribute to hair loss, and some users suggest supplements like mucuna pruriens, vitamin B6, vitamin E, L-Tyrosine, L-Theanine, DIM, and Zinc to lower prolactin. Lifestyle changes to increase dopamine, such as reducing screen time and stress, are also recommended.
