Hello folks,
Ive been on Propecia for 9 years and it halted/slowed my hair loss until this past August. I noticed my temple/corners of my hairline receding and thinning out (left is slightly worse than right). When I noticed this, it brought a great deal of depression and stress.
Before starting propecia, I was a NW1 and now I’m a NW 1.5 headed to a NW2 with the amount of loss I’m seeing between showering/combing/etc.
My dermatologist put me on propecia 1mg this past July (previous derm retired who used to write me a 5mg proscar prescription that I cut in 1/4 which = 1.25mg). I took the 1mg for a month and was ok, but when I switched back to the 1.25mg since August (been taking 1.25 for 9 years), I have started a crazy shed which has lasted now over a week. It’s almost like propecia lost it’s effectiveness.
In panic, I had medicalwellnesscenter.com write me a prescription for Avodart but I’m extremely nervous to start it. The issue is that I’m already shedding lots of hairs, I would only imagine I would shed more on Avodart. Is it wise to wait and see if the shed decreases before starting Avodart or start it right now? I don’t want my hairline to take a huge hit, Propecia slowed the receding hairline to only a -.5 or -1 in the past 9 years but now things seem to be going south.
