Question: Hello, I've noticed my hair has lightly thinned in the beginning of the year after a very stressful and agonizing event in December. I applied minoxidil for 2 days straight in early April, however I decided I did not want to be consistent with the medication and stopped it (after the two days). Ever since I applied minoxidil my hair has been shedding like crazy for 6 weeks now. Is the shedding ever going to stop? I know it's a common side effect for hair to shed in the beginning of use with minoxidil but I'm not even sure if it's from the minoxidil anymore. I have not had any shedding before applying it, but my I noticed the light thinning that had happened. This is the first time I see thick hairs fall out with their roots. I really don't want to take Propecia, or minoxidil, I still have plenty of hair on my head but it's thinned a lot now around the crown and top since I've applied minoxidil and I've also been taking biotin (which hasn't done much to help). I've been on antidepressants (Wellbutrin) but stopped it around 3 weeks ago. My hair's texture changed and it is deflating my mood. The way I applied minoxidil was by applying 0.5 ml on my hands and rubbed it across most of my scalp.

Are the effects of hairless reversible if either the thyroid disorders or anemia is treated? I will be getting tested soon, but already looked up the symptoms and there are some heavy matches.
