I can certainly sympathize with the thinning hair. Mine's been really thin on top for years. Moreso ten years ago when I was on Requip and other symptom controlling drugs. I did the comb over routine and wore hats most to the time. Quite recently all that changed. In preparation for hay fever season and increased sun exposure on the ranch , I increased the level of two vitamins I take, pantothenic and PABA, and magically , two months in a Parkys day, qualifies I guess for that word, my hair changed to brown again and the mop seems stronger and thicker too. So who knows maybe there is hope for thinning hair even if it was or wasnt the Requip at fault.
