Hypoandrogenicity
This is a still relatively unknown phenomena but a small percentage of men seem to react negatively to the effects of the Propecia. In some men this can lead to an oily skin and an increase in hair loss. This is not normal and if you have experienced these effects from the beginning and they do not resolve themselves after a few weeks you should see a physician. Some men play it safe and start with a lower dosage like a half a tablet a day until their body adjusts to the Propecia. This approach should be discussed with the physician who prescribed the Propecia.
Shedding
Shedding is a term given to an excessive amount of hair being lost at once. While this is a very unpleasant experience, it is actually a very good sign and indication that the Propecia is working. Shedding occurs when many follicles are put back into the growth cycle at the same time. When a hair enters the anagen or growth phase the first thing that happens is the old hair is pushed out by the new hair that is starting to grow. Shedding usually occurs after about 12 weeks of treatment and lasts for around 4-6 weeks. After this initial shedding phase has occurred most men experience fewer and fewer of these and most often they go largely unnoticed. If you are going though a shed phase do not panic as it will most likely slow down and stop after a few weeks. If you experienced an increased amount of hair loss almost immediately after taking Propecia it is likely that you are experiencing a hypoandrogenic effect and not a shed. If this is that case then you should see a physician about possibly discontinuing the drug.
And the someone posted a response which sounds like me !!
gunner man, listen, i'm in the exact same situation as you. i know it's not necessarily comfort to you, but i, too, was on propecia for a little over 7 months and lost so much in my hairline and became diffusely thin all over. my loss was VERY minimal before propecia.
i quit just over a month ago, and i still think it's too early to tell any difference. but i CAN tell you definitively, the following are the changes i've seen after quitting: 1) morning erections have returned 2) more intense erections in general 3) mentally sharper 4) (most importantly) i'm seeing just a few new hairs come in in the front of my hair. i hadn't seen regrowth in months.
so look, here's the deal, get off the sh*t, save yourself some money and look into other alternatives... right now, i'm focusing on using anti-dht shampoos, taking lots of vitamins (including b6, zinc, saw palmetto, green tea extract, and others), scalp massages, and something new i've started (though quirky) is every night before i go to bed, i'll lie off the edge of my bed with my head off my mattress so i get can a rush of blood to my head. i know it sounds crazy as hell, but from what i've read, i think blood flow to the scalp is essential...
so i'm with you man. i'm so with you. propecia RUINED my hair. i'm the most depressed i've ever been in my life, suicidal in fact (it crosses my mind several times a day). this is the toughest, most painful thing i've EVER been through. it's a feat for me just to get myself presentable to the world everyday. i just wanna sleep and be alone right now.
let's hope some miracle cure is just around the corner. but in the meantime, save yourself some heartache AND money and get off that sh*t. i have no regrets in doing just that myself.
good luck to ya man, and keep me up to date. and i'll do the same.
