Looking for doctor in the US that prescirbes procorolan for pots.

I started losing my hair fairly suddenly last year. I'd say maybe 30%-40% had fallen out and then it tapered off. I kept trying to find a way to explain it, but finally settled on alopecia. It runs on both sides of my family, and I'm about the age my father was when he started losing his hair noticeably.
It should taper off, but it can be pretty scary when you're actively shedding tons of hair. My hair's not so thin yet that I'd need a wig, but I thought I might for a while.

Hello all,
Looking for alternatives to beta blockers for pots.
Has Anyone Tried Procoralan (Ivabradine)?

I recently tried it, but could only tolerate it for a couple days. It worked well for my primary symptom (tachycardia), but gave me a headache and made me feel depressed
I don't think that's a common side effect though.
I got mine through a neurologist and ordered it online, but I know how tedious it is going from doctor to doctor to find one willing to try prescribe non standard meds. I don't think it's getting FDA approved anytime soon, though. I wish I could send you the rest of mine to try to possibly save you the expense!
