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

    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
