propecia made things worse?

[itchy080]

ive been on propecia for about 10 months now and my hair has thinned a lot, i went from having big spikey hair to buzzing it with a number 2 razor, its depressing, could this thiningin be part of the propecia process? or has it just destroyed my hair from behind my hairline and a 3rd of the way back, any one else with a similar problem and or adive?

A few things to think about.

1. If you really think it made your hair worse, then drop Propecia and it should get better.

2. Your hairloss may have sped up and Propecia is doing a lot more than you think.

3. It hasn't kicked in yet, in no way would you be the first person that it took 12 to 24 months for propecia to begin working.

4. Maybe you need to add in Minoxidil at this point.

5. A shed is possible from Propecia, but not thinning, it simply does not cause the hair shaft to thin. MPD does.

6. Where are you getting your propecia from.

my dermatoligist gives me a prescription, i just made an apptment for may 17th so hopefully he will have some answers for me
so u think im screwed then and these thin hairs, and yes there are less of them then the normal hair, are just it for me and its time to concede?

and its time to concede?

Not even close, how closely did you read my post? Read it again.

People never read peoples responses closely enough.........

and these thin hairs, and yes there are less of them then the normal hair..

There are less thin hairs than thick ones? Is that what your saying?Then your doing well if that's a yes.

Keep your chin up itchy080, you have many options left to you.

sorry about not reading ur post carefully i guess im just stressed about this, about to graduate college and this dumb hair stuff, but ya i was shedding until about this last december i would say(i started propecia in june, but got hit with the shedding late) now some places on my head are more "hairy" than others( no one thinks im going bald though until u look under a lamp or sumthing) so im just hoping the propecia begins to add some density

 

[itchy080]

ps....during that shedding period my scalp was itchy, and now it is not, is that a good sign? i am sorry if i sound helpless here but i dont know much about all this stuff

 

[itchy080]

pps im pretty sure im a diffuser, not really having any recession. does this hurt my chances with propecia? i dont know if i can deal with applying rogaine 2x daily

Scalp itch on and off happens to all of us, try Nizoral 1%.

Propecia works good with diffuse, the only people that have a harder time are typically receders.

Propecia should bring back your density, but it will take time.
