Alopecia

Hi
Ive just had my sinemet plus increased to 2 4’hrly . 4 times in a day plus im on 16 mg ropineral and saligaline and sinemet cr at night
My daughter just pointed out a large area of alopecia at the back of my head. Is this caused by the drugs ? Did anyone else find this and what did they do about it ? Is it reversable ?
Freaking out abit about this , as if all the other problems werent enough
