As a result of an allergic reaction to citalopram, I suffered very bad hair loss. Not just a few extra strands washed out in the shower etc., but great clumps of it even just running my hands through it. That and other really nasty side effects caused me to stop taking cit. The hair recovered a little but was still very thin especially at the temples and front but it did stop shedding so dramatically. It's now started to fall out again and I'm thinking it may be due to stress/anxiety as I'm not taking anything to combat my depression etc. I've tried every lotion, potion, gadget idea etc., known to man, spent a fortune on rubbish - these sales people know we're desperate and will spend money on this crap. Does anyone have any idea what actually works? I refuse to accept that it's my age etc., as I have friends much older whose hair is lush and thick. I'm convinced it's something that's down to a deficiency of some sort and if only I could determine what that magic ingredient is. Thanks

She used root ginger every day for a month and saw good results. From memory I think she peeled the ginger then it was grated and mixed with olive oil. Then rub on the effected area and leave for half hour before washing off with shampoo. I know on occasion she left it on overnight and covered her hair with a scarf.
Apparently ginger helps with circulation and stimulates the hair follicle thus helping hair growth.
Give it a try if you haven't already
