Hi everyone,

I think I have a Chronic telogen effluvium.

I'm a 25 years old male, I lost 99,99999% of my hair because I took bad drugs during too long time at very high doses.
o Prozac 40mg between 15 years old and 22 years old (2006-2014)
o Risperidone 1,75mg between 8 years old and 22 years old (1999-2014)
o Concerta 90mg between 8 years old and 22 years old (1999-2014)

I ceased all drug in march 2014, but side effects continued.

I lost my hair between approximately 2011-12-13 to today (it's difficult to see damage when TEC starts). All my scalp is affected: Hair loss diffuse, extreme miniaturization, dandruff, itching. I have just 0,00001% of my hair but the hair loss continued, miniaturization also and iching/dandruff also.

Also, I have Vitiligo. There is a possible correlation between Prozac and Vitiligo. On my scalp, I have 5 little white circles. More white than the rest of the scalp. Alopecia areta? Vitiligo? I don't know...

I really sure that it's not a Androgenetic alopecia. All the members of my familly dies at 75-80 years old with Norwood 0. But I'm very affraid by possibility CTE starts Androgenetic Alopecia... but not my temples or vertex is more affected. All my scalp is uniformly affected. CTE + extreme miniaturization = Androgenetic Alopecia?

-I used Nizoral 2% + Fina 5mg 1/4 of pill during 1 years 3/4 (2014-2016) = NO RESULTS.
-After, I stopped all treatment in summer 2016….. I was discouraged…
-Since 2 december 2016, I tried again a new treatment (minoxidil 5% foam + AGAIN nizoral 2%)… 12 march 2017 = NO RESULTS AGAIN…
-I tried others treatment between 2014-2016: (t-gel, ratio-amcinonide, ratio-topisone, pramox, etc.).. no results.

My blood test for DHT, Iron, Ferritin, Thyroid glands: All is OK!

My questions are:
o Do you think my baldness is irreversible?
o Is extreme miniaturization possible in Chronic telogen effluvium?
o What futur treatment will be effective for me? Follica, Jak inhibitors, Histogen, other(s)? I have not healthy hair. My 0,00001% of hair are all extremely miniaturized. So, I'm sure that Tsuji, Hair transplant, Replicel, Hairclone, etc. will be not effective for me.
o What the antidepressed and neuroleptics do? Permanent damage?
o Is a biopsy required?

It's a nighmare for me. I had the same hair as Robert Charlebois. Since 2-3 years, I'm a monster.

Thank you very much!

This. It is impossible for us to help you especially if we have no pics. This is a male pattern baldness subforum while you seem to have a more complicated problem, maybe related to potent drugs used for many years.
