Hey Angela ~
I've read that the recommended doses for selenium and zinc supplementation for hair loss are double that which are supplied with Centrum.
I laid off Centrum when I found out (years ago, it's probably changed) that it wasn't as good as TwinLabs (I seem to remember that the type of iron Centrum used for supplementation cancelled out or conflicted with the form of vitamin E. I try to be very rational about these things, was raised with to have a great deal of skepticism about scientific/medical claims and taught to be evaluative, but this was quite awhile ago and was more actively involved with nutrition and supplements back then.) In any case, I bet Centrum is okay, overall, but you might want to add some selenium and zinc. They're supposed to help most with hair loss.
Good luck. I know when my hair changed (color as well as hair loss) it wasn't a happy time, and my hair was one of the few things I'd ever gotten compliments on. And if you're depressed there's nothing like adding looking a bit goofy to it - oof.
I have a great, great nutrition book that I can't find right now, but I should be able to get the citation. Let me know if you (or anyone else) is interested ~ it was a huge help to me at one time.
best of luck (or should I say, hair's to us?)

It grew back much thinner, and has remained that way for 8 years. That's part of why I'm so afraid of this hair loss now - it's too thin to tolerate it. I've been on 100 mg Wellbutrin and 3 mg terazosin for a while now. I started Nardil about two months ago, with gradual increases. I'm currently up to 37.5 mg/day. I noticed the hair loss about two weeks ago, but the past week and past couple of days have been REALLY bad. I take Centrum daily, as well as additional B6 and B12 (have been taking the supplements for quite a while, too). Any ideas?
