    Default Propecia, How much shedding to expect?

    I got a prescription for Propecia, and im thinking about start using it soon. My only biggest fear is that if i start, my hair will shed. As of right now, i have a full head of hair and i don't have any bold spots yet, but if i start using Propecia, what are the chances that hair will shed for sure to a point where i would look bold?

    when you took it, how much hair did you loose? i understand that it will grow back but im a college student and im really insecure so before starting i would like to know what im getting into.

    Thanks

    You will shed, but you shouldn't for more then 2 months, I might be wrong. It all depends how your body takes it. I had only shed for about 3 weeks.

    I didn't shed much, maybe over 60 hairs a day. No, people didn't notice because it wasn't that bad.
