    Default Gaining weight and medicine efficacy

    Hey guys

    This is my first post and I hope it's a enlightening one.

    I was wondering if the efficacy of medicine, specifically propecia, is worse the heavier you get?

    Recently I've gained a lot of weight, always been obese, and I've noticed I'm starting to shed again.

    I was wondering if that's the reason why?

    Thanks

    Any reply would be appreciated. I'm a diffuse thinner w/ obvious thinning in the Norwood 2-3 region.

    I'll post pictures soon.

    I intend to document my upcoming changes in regimen.

    I'll be adding: RU, SABA to go along with 1mg FIN daily, Folligen EOD, Rogaine foam 2x daily, and Nizoral EOD

    Dude. Chill out. It probably has nothing to do with it. You are probably just shedding like a normal human being.

    I'm chillin. I ask cause I've recently lost ground, and was wondering if that's the reason why? I had great results about 8 months in, but the last 3-4 months I've been noticing more scalp in the temple area.

    I'll post pics in a bit soon and journal my new regimen for all to see.
