Hey all, I started Propecia almost 3 months ago, and so far have only experienced accelerated thinning on my temples which have taken me to almost norwood 3, I did stop propecia for 4 days and did not notice a reduce in hairloss ( i know 4 days isn't much at all ) infact I dare say it got even worse so I jumped back on it at 0.5mg and I also added in Nizoral a week ago, I use it every second day which i know is probably too much but i can say since using it my itch has almost completely gone away ( I only experienced this itch after starting propecia ) I have now also just ordered S5 Cream ( Topical spironolactone ) and I am hoping this will halt my recession as it fights DHT and T for binding on hair follicles. What I'm asking is has anyone who took propecia and did not see the benefits then add in spironolactone and see a positive change in their hair? e.g maintenance
I dont want to start minoxidil as a shed from that would likely leave me having to shave my head, probably wont respond to it anyway. From what ive experienced so far from propecia is im definitely a responder, although i seem to be getting the opposite effect from what most other people do. One more thing I want to ask has anyone else been on propecia, experienced visual recession/thinning and came back from it? Or even just began to maintain after the initial decrease in hair. I should also add that I've not experienced a 'shed' as in I have not noticed a substantial difference in hairfall, maybe even less hairs fall now but my head does not reflect that as I am now visibly balding which was just not the case 3 months ago. Any help would be much appreciated!
