Hey all,
I've been on propecia for about 14/15 months now...had a few sheds previously, but hair's always regrown well and thicker....overall I'd have to say I am/was happy...last few months hair was awesmoe...literally just a week and a half ago, i had wicked hair..was in a bar with mates who don't have any male pattern baldness (one of them has the thickest hair i've seen), and we were talking about our hair, one of my mates said I had the best looking hair that night...
anyway...here comes the 'but'...cutting to the chase...somehow (as if that guy's saying that suddenly jinxed me??!), I've just had the worst shed of my life . I posted something similar to this a few months ago after a shed, saying what's the deal, should I ride it out or give up...and I stuck with it, and it all got better. But the shed wasn't THIS bad. Honestly, my frontal hair is shot to pieces now...and man, only 14 days ago I was spiking it up at the front, in the middle, doing all sorts :O
Is such a sudden and extreme shed normal this long into treatment? Shouldn't propecia stabilise your hair somewhat, especially after 14 months? I've had (up to now!) overall success, no doubt...but it's not been without periods of shedding, ups and downs, and overall uncertainty...
What's the next thing if hair doesn't come through after this? minoxidil? I can't afford to shed on that too...hair's damn thin right now
