I had severe side effects with Propecia, and wouldn't take it again even if it were free.

The side effects are real. I experienced complete impotence within days of starting Propecia. After quitting, things got back to normal in about a month.

I don't get it. What happens if you go grey after scar pigmentation?

I have no idea if it's related, but I can't post pics in my blog any more. The uploading process goes smoothly, and then the pics just won't show. I've tried it on firefox and safari.

Thanks Dr Charles, that is helpful. It's good to know what's typical (even though individual results vary.)

Fair enough, but I assume we can talk about averages, and what is typical / unusual. For instance, is it typical for the same large daily losses to continue right until the point when the hair starts growing back at the 3-4 month mark?

Ever since the start of week 3, I haven't so much as been able to touch my hair without it falling out. (I'm in week 6 now.) I probably lose 50 or more hairs every time I shower. It has gotten to the point where I'm scared to simply comb my hair. How long can this sort of situation last? I realize that hair lost to shock loss probably won't start growing back until month 3 at least, but low long will I keep losing it? It's extremely discouraging.
