I thought this was an informative site re: shedding & the effects of Propecia etc..

web page

It may cause some anxiety relief for new Propecia users experiencing shedding.

I have been on propecia for almost a year. I had never experienced any shedding as people have decribed. Recently however I have been noticing signifigant shedding over the last week or two. Does this mean that the drug is starting to kick in, or that it is losing effectivness? I have read that shedding is a sign that new hair is on the way...but does it happen this late in the treatment process? Thanks.
