does anybody have any helpful FEEDBACK!?!?!?!!

Has anybody experienced a mass shedding this early into taking propecia? It started 1.5 weeks in.

For what it's worth I did change "dirt bag" to "nappy headed ****". My point is though that "hooking up with a chick you're seeing" does make you an immoral dirtbag. Show her some respect, and stop treating her like a piece of meat. There is no greater respect than saving yourself for the one.

Oh, and I wasn't being racist. Go sponge down your burning douche, and stop looking for things to be offended by. That said, I do claim the right for myself and others to assert that some races are inherently better than others.

Sorry, but you talk like a lady boy with spaghetti coming out of the pockets. Have a nice day, amigo.

One big contradiction you are guy. Have a nice day Pastor Highlander

Please fondle Richard Dawkins an extra time just for me. Tell him Highlander says "Hi".

Please - less posting and more shooting in the face.

You have bigger problems than your hair, bro. Namely your eternal salvation. I will pray for you. I'm sick of your atheist scum kind coming around to these parts of the web. Get back to SoCal and bang some dirty immigrants you nappy headed ****!!!

P.S. How is having a lower sex drive (but still able to do it) a bad thing?

Please shoot yourself in the face.

1.5 weeks does sound a bit weird imo, but I can't say for sure. Let's hear from one of the doctors! They do come on here and comment every now and then

About the sex drive, it could be so many other things than propecia and to be honest, I doubt that propecia has anything to do with it after only 1.5 weeks.

Thanks for the reply. This instance was actually 2.5 weeks into usage. IDK. Maybe I psyched myself out. Who knows. But it definitely did not feel the same as the week before with the same girl. Granted I spent the whole week reading about all the problems this stuff can cause.

The hair shedding is definitely taking place though. I AM DEFINITELY SHEDDING TONS out of nowhere which I wasn't before the meds.

I'm new to posting on these forums but have been on here reading a lot of the past few weeks.

I am a 26 year old M who was experiencing very mild thinning/balding/whatever you want to call it. It really is/was very minor, I was more of using propecia as a preventative measure to maintain my hair through my 30's. I've been using propecia 1mg for about 2.5 weeks now, and about 1.5 weeks into that I started experiencing a mass shedding. I'm talking about 20+ hairs anytime I run a come through my hair, or even pat my head. Before starting propecia, I had to run my comb through my hair about 3-4 times just to get 1 hair to fall out. I would guess that roughly 1500 or so hairs have fallen out in just 1 week time?? IDK. I don't think I'm over exaggerating either.

Thanks guy.

I don't see how me talking about hooking up with a chick I'm seeing makes me an immoral dirtbag? Also sounds like you are a racist. Sad life. I do live in LA but I'm not your bro.

I would say there is some thinning there. How much I'm not certain. I have a cowlick in the back of my head so Idk if that is thinning or if it looks like that because its a cowlick. I've never really had a thick patch of lettuce I've always had thinnish hair and a buzz cut since I was like 14. I am white and black so I have this kind of weird cross between white and black peoples hair so I can't really do much with it but get a fade / buzzcut.

[worried]

Im not a propecia user but i know that excessive shedding is normal

[worried]

Diffuse thinners hairs kept on thinning from all over the head ( not sides and back) untill it goes all

do you see any thinning on mid scalp or on the crown ?

[ThisGuy]

What I'm trying to gather is whether I should stop propecia or not? I don't know what to do. I don't know if it is normal to be shedding this much this early into treatment, when I was shedding very minimal amounts prior to starting.

Any feedback would be appreciated from those who experienced shedding early in treatment with propecia. Did you hair come back after it shed? Did you stop taking? Did the shedding just keep on keeping on?
