Hi guys,
i'm 21 and currently 2.5 months into proscar treatment (1.25mg daily). I definitely think my hairline is thinning and retreating at a faster rate, although I do not know if this is due to the infamous shed, or, the fact that as you reach a certain point in balding, each hair is vital to your overall appearance rather than somebody with a full head of hair losing some. What I mean is that I may be at this threshold point rather than the shed.
I'm a student of science and hence am very aware of the placebo affect and cannot trust my judgement on the matter. what I want to hear is peoples personal experiences of the : severity and duration of the shed. And also what results can i expect and when (I realise it varies but a hypothesis? I'm closing in on a full norwood 3 fast).
I'd also appreciate the voice of a HT surgeon as they will have seen loads of patients on the treatment.
Also as I started proscar, I halved my minox dose to once daily (cant stand being seen with it on) - what affect would this have had???????
ps i realise this is covered throughout the forum but a specific thread on this one side effect would be nice (please dont mention any sexual sides etc)
