    Default My Own Propecia Experience and some questions

    Hi everyone, I've been reading this forum for a while but just recently joined. I noticed some hair changes around 21, and started Saw Palmetto ever since then up to a few months ago. I later started 15% minoxidil and noticed a huge improvement (more than a year ago) . Since March I've been using kirklands 5% minoxidil and S5 cream around my hairline.

    I'll make this short:

    Started Propecia : 2.5 months ago
    Initial Changes :
    horny all the time and needed to do it atleast 3 x a day

    Changes in the last 2 weeks :
    - no longer crazy horny (not feeling as easily aroused either anymore)
    - noticed lots of shedding to the point where I can now see parts of my scalp that I couldnt see before

    Problems :
    - very itchy scalp + dandruff
    - semen changes : watery semen (which I know was expected), but now very thick jelly like semen
    - some depression, but not sure if it is the Propecia


    So I'm not sure if my scalp is itchy because of the Propecia or the Minoxidil. Initially when i started the 5%, my head would get really inflamed and I noticed lots of dandruff. Because of this I started Regenpure every 3 days and sometimes Head & Shoulders. Over time it got a bit better, but was still sometimes itchy. It's now again really bad and I can't go without scratching my head every few minutes. Sometimes I wake up just to scratch my head.. it's that bad.

    So my questions are:
    Should I stop using the liquid minoxidil and try the foam kind?

    Is the thick jelly like semen expected?

    How much worse does the shedding get? Because I can see much more of my scalp now than I could ever before.

    Thank you everyone.
