Hi Robeberob
Wondered what your decision was with propecia?
i too am taking for a receding hairline and have been taking since Nov 08. That means i have been on it for about a year now (possibly 18 months but for the first 6 months i was taking with st johns wort which I hear can cause a decrease in effectiveness.
Anyway my hair was really good (maintaining more than anything) up until around April or May 09 when i experienced a massive shed. This affected the frontal part of my hair and really thinned out the front and the temples.
I have been waiting and hoping for regrowth but none has come. The shedding has def reduced now but i am still very easily able to tug hairs from the front and the temples.- distressing as my temples have both really receeded now. hair was so much thicker a year ago.
Really unsure what to do. Lots of people urge you to wait for regrowth and that it will come and you must be patient. But my hairline is being destroyed
What to do?
thanks
