Spironalactone helps with hairloss. Ask your provider if it would work for you. OF course labs may be in order to rule out causes of hairloss as well. Good luck! Jen

Met does help some women with their receding hairlines (I know KY Bluegrass says her hair is moving in the right direction).

After 3 weeks, Met is not even fully built up in your system yet. It may help if you give it more time, but you may also get more answers on the section of the board that's called "Does anyone else have this problem?". That forum would have more knowledge of the other treatments for this problem.

Hope that helps!
