Thread: Propecia 0.25 EOD users!?

Des

Strange question, even though I have or am going through a shed the hairs that I haven't lost feel a lot thicker. Not sure if this is just me? Also my hairline seems to be filling in. Correct me if I am wrong but the hairs you loose during a shed were you doomed to loose anyway?

Cheers

P.S Team RepliCel

I do not believe 0.25 or 0.5 mg per week can bring benefits, recently in my blood tests I found that these doses are myths in terms of effectiveness.

It probably depends on the person also.

This is what happened with my shed:

Months 0-4: Serious shedding in the NW5 pattern area (MPB zone)...especially hairline!

Months 4-7: Shedding started in the donor zone (horse shoe pattern area)...got me really scared actually!

Month 7-11: All shedding stopped...all lost hairs regrow and are much thicker!

Shedding phenomenon is very complex and I can't even fully understand its exact mechanism...what matters is:

1) Shedding is a GOOD sign - i.e. your treatment regimen is working

2) In almost all ppl - hair lost due to shedding will return and will be much thicker and healthier looking (guaranteed)

So, most important lesson is do not freak out because of a shed and cease fin! Persevere...no pain no gain

Julio...continue taking it at this dose and interval and if shedding begins within the next 2-4 weeks then it is working for you! Trust me...I went through all this last year.

Ppl are always looking for the lowest effective dose with Fin and I think we have found it!

After extensive research i came across the term hyperandrogenecity. Have you ever heard of this? why did you reduce your intake of propecia, and do you think maybe i should try the same as you.



Thanks alot your help will be greatly appreciated

This is really only to tide me over because the way I see it the next 3 - 5 are going to be pretty special in regards to stopping hairloss.

Thanks again

Rolf, where have I heard that before.

UK you have to stay positive mate! Otherwise this sh*t will eat away at you!
