It's impossible for us to know b/c you're on medication, you have to speak to a dermatologist in such a situation, your hair loss could be due to your condition or even your medication.

Not sure what carbamazipine is so i cant speak on that. In general you're only thinning on top so Propecia would actually be most useful to you. If you really dont want to go on that at least try minoxidil but for now you should get Toppik/Dermatch as it will cover up the thinning spot for when you go out(you're a perfect candidate since you still have your full temples).

I think carbamazipine is a drug used for convulsion and stabilizer of mood.

yes you are right and one of the side effect which is mentioned on the prescription is telogen effluvium

Try out minoxidil for a bit, if you see improvement then just stick with that.

Toppik is just a concealer so it'll look like you have a full head of hair if you put it on a thinning spot. Good if you wanna go out etc.

I recommend looking up studies on propecia and reconsidering it in a few months, it's honestly IMO the only drug that can 'save' your hair in that it actually stops/inhibits what is miniaturizing it and can fill in your thinning spot potentially as well. It's your choice just know that there's only maybe a 5-10% chance of sexual sides and 1-2% chance that these sides will continue(this is out of the millions that take it). It's definitely your choice but if you feel the hairloss is getting a little too serious i'd reccomend it(i've been on it for a month now with zero sides).

thanks for the advice , there is a lotion that blocks the production of DHT you use like 6 squirts of it and leave it on the scalp for like 6 hours , so i think that may be an option as well
