Has it Stopped?

Hi guys, i've posted several times in regards to things I've been curious about, but I had one question now that i've been on treatments. I've been on 1 mg finasteride for about 4 months, and am using Nizoral 1% everyday. I think that in general my hairloss has slowed down...at least I don't notice it as much shedding during the day. However every morning when I wake up, I still find 30 -50 hairs on my pillow case...is this an indicator that finasteride has not helped slow my hair loss? Hair on my pillow case and itching is what finally provoked me to get on finasteride in the first place, btw. Thanks fellas

1% everyday!? From my understanding that is excessive, but it seems to work for you.

What are the quality of the hairs that are falling out? It's probably just normal shedding.

Is 1% too much, I didn't know. I still itch

The shed hairs seem to look just like the hairs on my head...maybe a little thinner. But, most people NOT experiencing male pattern baldness, Don't wake up every morning w/ 30- 50 hairs on their pillow, do they?

i'd be a little concerned if there were 30-50 hairs just on your pillow case.. that's a lot man.

re:

I know...that's what I'm saying. So, essentially Propecia isn't working for me?

Far too early to decide whether or not finasteride is helping you or not. You need to give it at least 12 months. Using Nizoral at any strength everyday is excessive. Theres no reason to use it any more frequently than 2 or 3 times a week.

Are you sure its not just the same 30 hairs every morning and you never cleaned it off?

re:

yes, of this I'm sure...but the number is probably closer to 30 than 50
