Hair loss HELP!!!
The biotin won't do anything to stop the loss and is not a miracle hair growth vitamin. It just encourages it, and some people notice no difference in their hair or their nails. Even if it helps with regrowth, it is not like you are going to suddenly notice a huge growth spurt.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
It depends on what dose the pills are. Some come in 7500 unit tablets and you definitely would NOT want to take more than one of those a day! I have never seen a suggested dose in any medical literature. The biotin will NOT do anything to keep any more hair from falling out. All it can do is help promote new growth. Some people, though, (like me) didn't find that the biotin really helped the hair grow any faster than it normally does.
Be aware that some people experience excess facial hair growth from too much biotin (and the facial hair is permanent). I experienced that when taking 7500 per day. I stopped taking it completely for a while and the started taking a smaller dose.
I lost hair from months 4 to 9, and just about the time I was starting to panic because the loss was so heavy, it very suddenly stopped. (I lost literally half my hair, and had to cut 6 inches off of it (in two separate cuts) to keep it looking decent.)
