That's what I was thinking. Thoughts on how long a shed is expected to last? I'm thinking there must be a point where something just isnt right and I should stop using it?

I don't know there was such a thing as oral minoxidil. Is it worth looking into? You say you had initial success. How long do you expect your shedding to last :( It's hard to hang in there for it :( Thanks so much for the reply

Losing LOTS of hair every day. I count 60 when I shower, another 20-30 when I finish washing up and put rogaine in. When I wakeup theres tons of hairs on my pillows, and of course hairs all the time when I am up. I had been using Rogaine foam for 4-5 months, and never noticed much shed. Over...

He is my unfortunate experience: Within a few days of using finasteride (1mg daily) I had side effects of lower libido, trouble maintaining or getting an erection, frequent urination (getting up about 3 times during the night) and more exertion required for bowel movements. I know that latter 2 sound...

Thank you for the replies. I'm, not on "Prostaglandin Protocol", actually not aware of what it is Does Nizoral dry out your hair? I ask because rogaine is already doing that

Only .25? I'm taking 1mg right now. Does this give the same benefit with less side effects?

Hi everyone, I've recently started using Rogaine - the foam It makes my hair quite unmanagable and also unnattractive on my hair - hard, sticky I have a feeling I'm using too much. So much gets in my hair, and the result is kind of like using very cheap hair spray Because of this, I don't use...

Thank you so much for the reply. Your positivity is amazing. I hope I can adopt a small amount of that. I've been quite beaten down. Unfortunately I haven't been able to apply Rogaine in the morning. I use the foam which I read is more manageable than the liquid But it makes me hair...

That makes complete sense to start just the finasteride first. It would be a shame to deal with the side effects without it actually helping me. I guess I feel so pressured, as if I'm on the clock to do any and all things asap What do you think :/

Thank you for the reply, and a thorough one. I much appreciate it. I feel like it's hard to navigate this stuff and I feel like I'm on the clock :( So it's 1) being depressed from the hairloss 2) trying to figure out what to do, 3) trying to come to terms and take action as quick as possible...

Thank you so much for the response. Would you recommend trying one at a time rather than together? I was told I should try finasteride only first for 6 months or I wouldn't know which was helping? Thanks again!

First off, thank you so much for the replies. I'm 34. Any advice on how to go about finding a doctor who will at least give me some attention, or as you said a biopsy?

How would I go about finding a dermatologist for this? I saw one months ago, and she gave me about 2mins of her time. Didn't care to talk about hair loss or treatments. She quickly looked at my crown, parted my hair said yep you're losing your hair and was dismissive of it as an issue. She...

Hi everyone, I first noticed my hair loss about 4 months ago, but I know it's probably been going on for a bit. I have hair loss on the crown and top of my head, with my hear line receding as well I still haven't come to terms with it It's hurt me emotionally a good deal I'm trying to do...

No, I'm not concerned about long-term hair loss due to Rogaine My concern is initial hair loss due to shedding My fear here is there are no guarantees with Rogaine working, but it sounds like the shed is a sure thing So if I shed, then I lose more hair now, which is scary as hell To recover...
