I am very glad to hear this, as i have been on Dr Lee's Xandrox 15 w/o ppg for 6 months and have just run out i ordered the Dualgen 15% w/o ppg and have been using it for 3 days now, i must admit my head is a little inflamed from it, do you think that i will experience shedding becuase of...

Havn't been on here in a while, thought I would post and let you all know what has been happening. Well.... I was right, I have certainly been producing far too much estrogen since taking finasteride, the avergage amount is meant to be around 6 and after visting a natropath who did a proper...

Been going through a shed lately, seems to get more diffuse every 3 months, dont know if its a minoxidil shed or because of Reflex HA, I've been on the minoxidil Xandrox AM PM combo for nearly 3 months started shedding 3 weeks ago. I got the increased body hair before minoxidil and Xandrox, so I know thats...

It has a completely different Method of action than oral androgen inhibitors such as Finasteride that lower blood serum levels of DHT. It also has a completely different method of action than topical adrogen blockers such as RU58841 which compete with the androgen receptors against androgens and...

Rabid, I completely understand that people shed on finasteride, of course i do. I am not going to get in to a debate with you regarding why i got off Finasteride, but some serious hormonal imbalance was and DID occur, body hair increased, i shedded an obsene amount of hair, and as you would...

I realise i would be taking a punt on this assumption, however as i didnt have baseline testing done pre finasteride and my Estrogen levels are say for example in range, what else could be the cause of the water retention in my face/head/ears everywhere, my diet has always been the same. I know that...

Thanks for your reply, the photos were taken before getting on Xanxrox 15 and minoxidil, only been on them for 2 1/2 months, the water retention was while i was on Finasteride and has not subsided since i got off it, this is Telogen Effluvium type hair loss, however i eliminated what i thought was the casue and...

Yeah the frustrating thing is when i get my blood levels done they always seem to come within normal range, i am going in again in March and assuming they are the same, do you think i should just get some Arimidex anyway and see what happens, its obvious that my hormones have not returned to...

I know mate, i cant believe it, so for all you doubters out there that say that finasteride doesnt cause perminant hairloss, think again. What i am more concerned about now is why the #$%& did my face change so much, what caused this let alone loosing hair perminantly all over my head. Worst thing is...

Well i am back again, here is my update.... For those of you who havnt read my original post here is the summary. Here is my story: I am now 28 years of age last year at the start of March i stated taking 1/4 of a proscar daily, i went to my GP and i had a full head of very thick dark brown...

Ok so i have spoken WAY to soon it seems... Since i last posted 6 days ago, all i have experienced as a big shed, and its not letting up, my hairline has taken a massive hit and overall on the top of my head once again loosing more in a diffuse pattern. I cant believe it, intially i thought...

Hey guys, I thought i would update whats happened since i last posted. I went and saw my encronoligist after he had a look at my test results for various things, nothing was out of the ordinary, i decided that after shedding for so long that i would quit finasteride. I have been off finasteride for about 4...

Irish, do you think it would make a difference in my case, as yours was more of a Telogen Effluvium directly from the finasteride, mine seems like its a testostrone problem, built up over a 5 month period and now i am growing more body and facial hair, and loosing hair on top / sides constantly. I know your loss was...

I am the original poster: So its been another month and i went and visited an endocrinologist, and he was very helpfull and sympathetic to what has happened here. I explained my situation to him and showed him photos of baseline and photos that i have been tracking constantly on my iphone of...

Loosing hair the way we have in such a short amount of time is certainly not male pattern baldness, surley not. To loose 40% of your hair in a 4 week period has to be brought about because of another factor, in my case finasteride or as the Dr and Derm said more likely stress, i think it was the finasteride personally, as i have...
