Hello,
None of your medications can justify this hair loss and thinning hair. I think you should test your thyroid hormone levels because Hypothyroidism can cause hair thinning and hair loss. Taking vitamin B complex is always a good idea.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
