Update: Been on Rogaine 6 months, and propecia 5 months. Also Ketoconazole 2% for 4-5 months. Don't notice regrowth. It's thinning out more if anything. Will keep giving it more time though, probably until the 1 year mark.

Update: Shedding has pretty much stopped for a few days now. After consistent shedding for 3 months. Still continuing the same treatment, minoxidil 5% twice a day, 1.25mg propecia, nizoral 1% every other day. Don't notice regrowth yet, but now that the shedding seems to have halted, I will...

Well, I didn't sit there and count each hair, but I have never had this much hair falling out when I run my hand through my hair. I will try and get a more accurate count tomorrow. Might be closer to 50 if you say 100 is ridiculous, but I truly doubt it is less than that. Also, you say it...

A few months ago I noticed some hair loss on the front/temple area. Mostly thinning but enough to consider doing something. Went to the dermatologist, he said there is thinning and that I should go on minoxidil 5% and propecia. Was reluctant to go on propecia, don't like the idea of a drug...
