Get seen: You're on medications and you're probably also stressed -- perhaps a difficult life situation from which you're working hard to escape long-term. This can precipitate telogen effluvium. You're old enough now to phone your physician on your own and get seen, if need be for a dermatology consult and perhaps a thyroid function screen.
