Hello,

I started propecia about two years ago with .5mg every day. At the 1-year mark I was on cloud no. 9, perfect hair perfect hairline everything was peaches, but an exponentially increasing ball ache emerged along with some brain fog and I couldn't handle the constant discomfort so I Iowered the dosage to .25mg.

After about 6 months of taking .25mg's I lost all that I had gained in terms of hair, got a shitty *** receded hairline and the ball ache went away. I realized I was heading south fast so I upped it again to .5mg and have been on .5 for about 3-4 months now.

So far no sides and no gains whatsoever, and in fact im going through a horrendous shed. I think I saw about 300 hairs on my hands in the shower today ( i have never experienced a shed like this, never) Hair is falling at a crazy rate.

So my question is, do you think its "just a shed", or do you think I have become completely immune to the .5 (since I'm not getting any sides) and Its like I'm not taking any Propecia at all?

Stick with .5 and ride it out or go for the 1mg? I don't wanna keep messing with dosages either as I don't wanna make things worse than they are.

Thoughts?

I'm also taking B-complex and One a Day for Men.

Thanks fellas

You should always start on a lower dose, you've jumped right into the deep end, I think it may have got worse now you have cut back to .25mg, but if you are having side effects don't go back onto 5mg... Why not add something else? A growth stimulator such as rogaine, or even try and topical DHT blocker, also add Nizoral... Just be careful on what you chose to do, and keep progress.

What topical would you recommend him then ? I heard topical finasteride & dutasteride was a bust, but then again i read soooo many negative reviews on all products. Personally i have used topical spironolactone and i have stopped my shedding, i also use Nizoral shampoo maby 2-3 times a week.
