I really don't think either of them regrow hair very well. they just improve the quality of existing hair, which makes your hair look more dense.

public, you should look into possible getting a PRP treatment. Its suppose to be very good with minituration.

Sharpy, ive read on here people have had shedding from messing with the dosages, but I would assume that the hair that is shed will grow back, hense it is called shedding. I played around with the dosages and never experienced a shed, i never experienced a "shed" from this drug ever. My hair just fell out as it normally did untill the meds started working.. Now bc ive never experienced a shed before switching the dosages mean that i will not experience one, i do not know. I guess it all depends on the person.. hope this helps

get on propecia. it will maintain the hair you still have..

I dont think propecia, is very effective in the temple region..

I suggest you are start taking propecia or fin, before you decide to get a HT, because if you are a good responder and have no side effects, then you wont have to worry about losing any existing hair..

Had similar problems as you... unfortunatly.. the side effects were to much for me to handle and I decided to get off the drug. You should really look into PRP as another option.. Its a very new procedure and seems very promising, im going to have my first one the 31st...

take propecia monday wednesday and friday.... should save you a bundle.

yea I only get them probably every 3 or 4 days in them morning, and I rarely ever get spontaneous ones. If I do they are maybe half erections.

yes paddy, that is what it's job is. In my case, it not only halted my hairloss, but increased the appearence of my hair and the thickness..... just have to watch out for the nasty side effects.......

Dr. Feller,

What was the age of the patient that you posted photographs of?

And just a comment, if the study said that hairs increased by 10% in diameter tha is huge, because if you think each hair increased by 10% that would add a great deal of density.

Green,

Still not back to normal yet. I'm not going to worry about it though. Sometimes it just takes a long while to recover. Great to hear that ur responding well to propecia and I'm glad u stuck with it. Just keep monitering it for the next few months I'd say.

Mrjobi,

It has nothing to do with mental in my case. Thanks for the insight though.

jman i would believe so bc its a shedding phase.

1. I have taken propecia for 8 months, stopped using it, and went back to normal in a week. then tried to take a lower dosage .50 of a pill. had the same side effects.. and still have yet to recover..

2. the first time i quit yes, the 2nd time, still have not yet.

3. could take a week could take 2 months, could be never.

4. search PRP on this forumn, might be something to look into.

5.i guess this would depend on how bad you're hairloss is,age, and what nw scale u are.

I believe has the same characteristics as blood, in which they can be rejected by a foreign body.. although i am not sure of course..

Yea I kinda figured it wouldn't be enough.. I guess some people just can't handle this drug. I too, am to scared to try avodart, it's just not worth it to me. I just hope I return to normal sooner then later.. it pretty much feels like im on a roller coaster right now.

ceasar thanks a lot for you're reply.. it put me in a much better mindset.. So do you think that taking .25 prop once a week would have any results?

no xxy, i havn't taken the drug for 5 weeks now.. and have still not gone back to normal... and the first time i quit i went back to normal within a week

and green i dont mean to sound like a broken record, but I to had the same effects through the first month as you already know.. if you are thinking of lowering dosage after a month, i wouldnt stop for 3 weeks like I did. just continue with the lower dosage mwf.. maybe even try .25 at first.. that way if you dont expereince sides you kn you're safe.. i suppose..

yes but you must understand that doesnt work for everybody as I just said i took .25 and still had sides..

I will definatly try.. how's you're situation green?

yea im starting to get pretty worried.. just went on propeciahelp.com.. uh not a good idea.....

i know nothing of this drug, but i searched it on the find section of this forum and tons of stuff came up.. try that good sir.

hey guys, im wondering if anyone has expereinced what I am experiencing.. I took propeica for about 8 months, had mild sides.. decided to stop taking it...and was back to normal within a week.. maybe 2.. While being off it for about 3 weeks, I decided I would try it again with a lower dose.. .25 everyday instead... I started on Monday and had sides by saturday.. so I stopped and now it is taking a lot longer to get back to normal.. its been 4 weeks now.. I can get an erection, althougth i would say my libido and my sex drive are still very low.. im starting to worry a little bit and am trying not to but if anyone has any advice for me, I'd appreciate it.. or if anyone has been in the same situation..

thanks

B
