Hey All,
Hopefully this post will be valuable to multiple people... Kinda long, but I think it will help.
Been on Propecia, Nizoral, 10+ years - NO SIDES
In the beginning and over the next few years, I had some major sheds - for example, 100 after getting out of the shower and combing.
However, over the last 4 years, I have really not had a shed, UNTIL NOW. I am seeing 30-40 hairs come out a day. This may not seem like a lot to many of you, but this has NOT been happening. 75% of the hairs have the white bulb. I will note that I am very pleased with my progress on Propecia, and if my hair stayed as full as it is right now, I would be 100% satisfied.
I also want to mention an odor that is coming from my hair. This odor I recognize from 10 years ago, right around the time I started taking propecia. I have not smelled it until recently. (Is this a sign that propecia might be catching a "second wind?"
In the last two weeks, I started taking a preworkout homemade cocktail that included citrulline malate, taurine, BCAAs, Antioxidants, Lysine, and a couple of other aminos. I made this for bodybuilding, Hair Health, and also for vasodilation b/c of High Blood Pressure. I thought I had a nice cocktail that was pretty expensive to put together.
BUT, around the same time I started taking my homemade product, I started this shed. I know the logical thing is to stop taking it. I more than likely will; however, how likely is it that I have started a shed from only taking a product 3 X week for a total of two weeks (6 times)? There is nothing that is dangerously overdosed.
Also, the hair odor has me wondering. I have heard Lysine mixed with propecia boosts propecia's effectiveness...Have I kickstarted propecia's ability to go to work for me like it did 10 years ago and is that why this unique odor has come back? And, is there the possibility that my homemade preworkout/hair/vasodilator product is actually doing something good and this shed is something that will bring about better results?
Any help really appreciated. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be as specific as possible.
