Hair loss

Hi, this is the first time I have seen this site.

I have been diagnosed with PCOS for about 2 years and my doctor put me on the pill - ovranette and spironolactone. Result = acne completely gone, lost 22 lbs, moods more stable, facial hair + excess body hair gone. BUT, the hair on my scalp is shedding at an alarming rate. Doctor now wants to take me off spironolactone. I haven't yet, as I don't want the other stuff to return, and from reading info etc, I thought spironolactone would reduce male pattern balding.

Help! I don't konw what to do.

Doc hasn't got a clue really, but I am wondering as most of my symtoms seem to be reducing, why is the hair loss getting worse?

Help and directions would be appreciated.
