There is a shampoo that you can buy at drugstores, but at Wal-Mart I am sure it's cheaper. It is called Nizoral (I think this is the name. I will have to double check somewhere). I've read that it is a very drying shampoo, so maybe you could use it once or twice a week, not an everyday shampoo. It is also kind of expensive (maybe $12, I'm guessing). Anyway, if you can't tolerate the Nizoral try using Head & Shoulders.
Two years ago I suffered from a bout of TE (telogen effluvium) which is some itching and dreaded hair loss. I used Head & Shoulders and the itching went away in about a week of using the shampoo. It didn't stop the hair loss, but it sure stopped the itching.
You asked about vitamins - I took Biotin when I went through the bout of TE. You can find that in the vitamin isle at Wal-Mart.
I am going through another bout of hair loss right now, but I don't have the itching and I still use the Head & Shoulders.
I hope this helped :-)
PS - Try NOT to itch your head. I had to try like crazy not itch my scalp when I was going through the TE.
