I am starting to thin on the top of my head, and have a slight receding hairline. What medications have worked for any of you guys?

Actually, there has been some evidence that taking saw palmetto (an herb taken for prostate problems, which enlarges for the same reason men lose their hair) helps prevent thinning.

so many things you could try.  Tea tree oil on your scalp. Nioxin shampoo and conditioner.  Mane n' Tail. GNC also has vitamins for hair and nails.

Sorry mate,\n\nStart getting used to it....your getting old.  You can try Rogain or something like that.  OR.... Get creative and shave shapes into your head or get a tattoo!

There are different types pf hair fall.The one that most of the males are concerned is the male pattern baldness and is related to the sensitivity of the hair follicles to the androgen.There are numerous treatment for this androgen male pattern baldness \n1) Minoxidil-It is increased the blood supply to the hair follilce and also increases hair growth.\n2) Finasteride-It is androgen receptor blocker that blocks the action of androgen and thereby reduce hair fall and subsequently increases hair growth.But one needs to consult physician before using oral drugs as it can have side effects like decreased sexual drive etc.\n3) Hair transplantation is another procedure that can be used for hair fall.It can give varying results to different people.But the hair that is transplanted is supposed to be permanent.

According to WebMD  it was originally used to treat high blood pressure. Here is what they had to say: "Minoxidil was originally used to treat high blood pressure. It is now also used to treat inherited hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), the most common cause of hair loss, as well as for other causes of hair loss." \nIf you ever have any doubts on OTC meds ask the pharmacists they usually know about side effects and medication interactions and problems like that.\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/hair_loss/aa153435.asp

I had some friends that say rogaine works to stop hair loss but if you ever stop taking it your hair will fall out quickly.

you and million others.  The best thing to do is get the volumzing solutions from the market.  Try another hair style, so your scalp doesnt show.  dye your hair to another color.

Propecia (finasteride) is the only FDA-approved treatment for male hair loss. It can be used in the treatment of two hair loss patterns: on the top of the head and on the anterior mid-scalp area.\n\nResults of Propecia use vary, but for most men, it increases the number of hairs in the first 12 months of treatment and helps create thicker hair in the balding areas. Results may be visible in as little as 3 months. In addition, it may help slow hair loss.

vitamins--prenatal vitamins help alot--and u need to check with your doctor-hairloss is a sign of anemia--hypoactive thyroid-and stress-and all of those problems can be helped with medication-good luck

yes, i used to have it. I had long beatiful hair at one time. But i pulled it all out and yeah i was completly bald. It was caused by stress. I was about 13 at the time. and had just told my parents about a very traumatic thing that had happened to me. So much was going on at the time, i guess that is the only way i felt i could deal with it. I didn't have control of the situation at all. and it was very hard on me, and hard to accept. But i hope things will get better for your daughter. They did for me. It took about 3 yrs. until it completely stopped for me. Now i have a full head of hair. and things are starting to look up for me. I wish the best for you and your daughter. Take care and God bless. If you want to know anything more about my experience, you can email me if you want.

The best thing you can do is face the fact you are balding.\n\nThere is nothing (aside from a hair transplant) you can take or do about it.\n\nBe happy with the look you have, and everyone else will be too.

I try to lay down with a cold compress on the forehead, keeping my eyes closed and noises to a minimum.  Imitrex always works for me....but taken as a last resort.  I have heard that Relpax is good too.  Feel better!

Stress CAN cause hair loss.  Been there.  So can: hereditary hair loss (female pattern baldness), anesthesia, medicines, thyroid dysfunction. Ask a pharmacist or health food store which supplements are the best.  I have used multivitamin, B-complex. Zinc and B6 are good also.  Have your Dr. also advise you.
