Hey all.. Just a quick question...I am rapidly losing hair in the front and now in the last few months have started to thin on top (while on Propecia!). However, in the areas that would remain with hair (non-male pattern baldness areas) my hair is thinning as fast, or faster, than the top. Around the ears and...

Hi all - How long should I give minoxidil 5% until I can determine that since I see no regrowth, it does not work for me....3 months? 6 months? 12 months? Thx in advance...

HairLossTalk.com...I thought Merck states on the site that 12 months, not 24 months, is the necessary window to gauge Propecia. Traxdata...I am about at 6 months on Propecia and feel that I lost way more hair in months 4-6 than 1-3...It is tough, I know as I am also wondering whether to continue to use...

It is normal for hair to thin towards the root....I asked this question to a doctor and that is the response I got.

Thinning - you are entitled to your opinion about me. I was not questioning that. It is your opinion...mine differs but so what, people have different opinions and will often not agree. I was just questioning the point of posting your post because it did not provide any insight, that's all...

HairlossTalk, Thanks a million. Great post. Question re: Folligen Spray. I live in Canada. Do you know if I can purchase this at a pharmacy in Canada? Also, is it Over the Counter or do I require a script? Cheers!

Thanks guys - great insight/advice. I now think I need to see this through for at least another month. Hopefully I am one of those it "gets worse before it gets better" guys. If in another month or two I see no progress, than I will probably drop minoxidil. (at least first) The side effect that...

Blue - thanks. You make sense. This was the type of info I was looking for. Maybe I will stick on it for another month or two and then re-assess. If nothing changes, then I can stop.

Thanks Viperfish. You may be right, I may have to drop minoxidil. wastingpenguins, thanks for the insight of "You can quit if you want". It really added value to the thread

If anyone has some insightful feedback, I would appreciate it. Feedback like above, which adds no value, need not be posted. Thanks.

Hi all, I think that I may have to quit Propecia/minoxidil 5%. Been on for 5+ months. In this period: - I have seen no improvement or even maintenance of my hair - My hair loss may have even accelerated in the last 2 months. (at least I perceive so) - Did not notice a shed, but still could...

Pirate Commander F.B. Thanks for the link. Considering I only apply minoxidil once a day, I can't imagine that I absorb to much into the body....

Hi - I started minoxidil 5% on June 14, only on my temples and only once/day at night. Anyway, to this point, my temples have gotten much thinner, in particular my "good" temple. I am hoping that this is due to a minoxidil shed. (though I did not see additional hairs in the shower which is where...

Hi all - On the minoxidil box that I use, it says that if I have no results after 4 months that minoxidil won't work for me...Just wondering though, how should I define "results"...is it small little hairs that *may* grow out or should I see some actual hairs growing out at that time.... Thoughts...
