Does Saw Palmetto Cause Hair Shedding?

i hate all this shit.

i'm going to have to max my credit card out and get a hair transplant.

Thought I'd bump this thread up since I did say I would keep it updated. Things aren't looking very good on the hair front. I've been on this regimen all these months since September 2012 and unfortunately my hair has steadily gotten worse over this time. I am very thinned out on top and lost a lot of density. My scalp is clearly visible luckily it is winter time so I am able to cover it up with a beanie for the time being whenever I go out. Can't and won't recommend this for anyone as it has not shown any encouraging results. I will discontinue the Saw Palmetto shortly, just gonna reduce the dosage over the next few weeks so it's not such a huge shock to my system.

noticing very slight hair regrowth/thickening

How long have you been taking Saw Palmetto for darelg?

the only "good shed" you will notice is the one you get from minoxidil.
Shedding should be practically non existant with any sort of androgen blocker.

Why do some people who start Nizoral have a shed then?

Gutted was always going on about hyperandrogenicity. Anybody using a DHT blocker must have been experiencing it in his opinion...

Saw palmetto is bullshit!!!

Ok iv been doing fine on propecia Merck brand for 2 years i take it EOD, last month i decided to add a saw palmetto life extension the days i don't use propecia. Anyways after couple days i started to get the nasty tingly itch feeling i had before taking propecia so i stopped the saw palmetto and it went. So I then ordered hairomega, same case the itch etc come back along with hairloss so i ditched those. So i had some vitamins with saw palmetto and tried those, same scenario so now iv ditched every saw palmetto supplement, I read online others had same experience it caused high libido and hairloss etc. what could be the reason with saw palmetto, does it cause rise in DHT? Propecia never gave me shed its always instantly stopped the nasty itch, tingle and hairloss.
