What Causes Thinning Of Hairs?

Until a few days ago I was taking PGX Daily. I stopped since I take 10mg of Lipitor, 5mg of Norvasc, 1mg of klonopin and 10 mg of elavil for IBS. I noticed my hair was starting to thin out. Are there any side reffects I should be aware of with taking PGX vs the meds I mentioned. I am finding a hard time to see if anyone of these should not be taken together. Pls help my concern. Plus I noticed more brusing.

Hi!! I have gone through your history and according to me elavil might be responsible for thinning of your hair as rest of the drugs mentioned by you dont lead to hair thinning.
