Dude I dont want to sound like a prick or anything but the same thing happend to me. I firmly believe that the finasteride made my hair worse. Killed my density and believe it or not thinned my back and sides massivley! Take it how you want if your doctor actually confirmed you have Telogen Effluvium then he did...

First, in short, what happend was I noticed what I would call mild hair loss begining started minoxidil as preventitive then finasteride six months later.... terribly worse now one year later.. and I want to start an experiment so please keep reading if you want to join or are interested. One month before...

Re: Stopped Hairloss in its tracks If you do not mind I have a couple questions for you... 1. How long did you take both Propecia/Minoxidil for? 2. How long after you quit did the sides go away? 3. What kind of hair do you have & color (Thick, not thinning but thin, etc.) 4. Can you explain...

I lied man got another ? Did you lose hair on minoxidil, if so did it grow back? In other words did you have hair that minoxidil caused to fall out but grew back after you discontinued the drug? Almost like minoxidil caused a case of Telogen Effluvium.

Sorry to be annoying lol but one last question... I quit once for a month and my hair was oily up until atleast three weeks off (I can remember because it was around the Lions MNF game :)). Was your hair greasy or oily at all for anytime? thanks to for answering my question it gives me a lot of...

Oh and did you go cold turkey or ween off?

So the hair you shed from rogaine did grow back!? I swear it is causing my shedding and want to quit so bad

I've had enough i'm calling out minoxidil and Propecia. For the past year I have used minoxidil and the spots where I have used the stuff are the spots that have thinned the most (Top of the crown, vertex, and hairline). After the first six months of minoxidil I started Propecia, which also caused minor...

I am on minoxidil to and its weird you said the thing about forhead lines because one month in I got them too. Just a couple questions... You were on minoxidil for 6 years? When you quit they went away? atleast like you said "98%" of what it looked like before?

I got the same sides, it seems to me though that if you got sides any what so ever it should be working? Im thinking about cutting down to .5mg I heard from a Doctor (not a bullshit dermatologist) that if the dose is to high it can cause a negative effect. My thought: It effects the hormones...

Because it is ingested and spread evenly though the body prostate and scalp (if your lucky) are effected by it because DHT effects those two areas.

In Same boat as you guys started with minoxidil the spots I used that stuff things got worse after about 6 months things seemed to have stabalized only a few hyairs when washing. Started finasteride now my hair has thinned all over top bottom sides everywhere. However now 6 months in I am losing hairs that...

Consider this: Possibly DHT works just like your body when it is cold, the colder you become the more your blood moves from the extremities to the vital organs because they are most important to keeping you alive. With that being said maybe the new limited supply of DHT after you take the finasteride...

I'll make it simple Started finasteride 6 months ago Shed for first 4 months.. When I say shed I mean thick dark long hairs that do not look to be damaged what so ever Month 5 slowed down huge Mid-Month 5 shedding again Now, mid-month 6 seems to have slowed again, but it is day to day if I really...
