Is Thinning Of Hair Due To Stress?

My hair has been thinning out dramatically. It started last year around April/May timeframe I went to the dermatologist in July. The first one was pretty sure it was due to a very stressful event I had been through a few months earlier. She told me to use Rogaine and it would grow back quicker. I used one can and decided not to use more because I knew what caused it and all would be ok. Well it is now Feb and my hair is not any better. I was told approximately 5 years ago I have hashimoto s disease but last blood test indicated my thyroid levels are still in the range that is ok. I have been taking librax and devilant for several years. About 6 months ago I started taking librax twice a day. I met with another dermatologist that did not give me a lot of hope that the hair loss is due to the stressful situation. I am getting desperate and need to find the root cause. My daughter is getting married in 7 months and I surely do not want to continue to lose my hair.
