Propecia Shedding

[irishpride86]

Ok you say it's dupa..... if so then explain how my hair was thick on the sides and back and a LITTLE thin up top... after propecia i got diffuse thinning all over...

So are you sure it's dupa ???

Thats what happened to me when I was on Prope for only 3 months it was a quick shed and I started to get side effects as well.

I said F this shit, and ditched, well I had to because of gyno and surgery for that too.

It just isn't good for some people. I think you are way too young to start that stuff. You should just let nature takes its course while doing what you can naturally. Eat right, work out a bit, stop any drug use and drinking.

You are spending a ton on supplements and a lot of that is a waste of time and money. Don't panic if you are going to lose your hair its going to happen with or without all those products.

In your late 20's early 30's see where you are and if your hair loss is moderate, then maybe you do something about it, but you are so young. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but WTF when you start chasing your tail this early in the game it could create worse problems down the road.

I had an HT in my late 30's I still felt I was taking a huge risk, I tried all the prope and minox and supplements in my late 20's, which I think did nothing and faired pretty well in my 30's when I stopped doing anything about it, until the late 30's, from what I think was stress related, my hairloss go to a point where I knew a HT was the only way to fight hairloss, or I could have gone clean.

Take your time and dont be obsessed with your hair. Live your life and have fun and stop worrying about.

Good Luck

I said it might be DUPA... I also said I wasn't making a diagnosis and to get checked out. Maybe something exacerbated your hair loss it could be number of things (worrying, maybe even Propecia). All I know is that your hair loss does in fact look diffused.... and doesn't follow the MPB pattern.... hence why I think it might be DUPA. I've read online that PRP might help with DUPA. How are you sides and back now? are they also diffusing???

irish:

I think your doctor might be right. Some types of MPB seem to happen VERY quickly. It does not look like anything but some aggressive MPB.

Stay on fin, see if it gets better. I think everything is normal just let the fin help you. If you are not seeing enough results start minox.

Good luck

Don't worry about the shedding.

My shedding kicked in at week 3 of starting on Propecia and Minoxidil. I was styling my hair and the sink was COVERED with hair. Fortunately, I didn't panic because I went into this treatment, fully aware of the shedding phenomenon.

While the shedding was happening, I used products that camouflaged bald spots. All went well and shedding stopped after a week of aggressive "hairloss". Then the lost hair came back few months later, mostly in my crown area.

So don't be alarmed. I suggest taking it for at least a year to make a conclusion on the drug's effectiveness. And of course, if you're REALLY bothered, there are plenty of hair specialists who are open for free consultations. 10 months into Propecia and all I can say it that it's been a roller-coaster ride. There are good days and bad days, and you will start to ask all these questions inside your head and doubt the drug multiple times over - but be persistent.

Good luck!

When did you start to see results from the propecia?

Shedding on meds is common especially at the start - see topic:

Propecia seems to cause a lot of shedding. Maybe you're buying it from inferior places. I know http://www.europepills.com sales real propecia

Your hair regrowth is impressive.

You never got any side effects from Spiro? Every doctor I've
asked about that says it's very dangerous for males.

They never have tested that on men.
