Phroso

No, I have had no side affects at all. I just feel like I'm wasting money on absolutely nothing. I felt like I experience a lot of shedding the first few weeks I was on the medication, as well as breaking out on my scalp. I thought it was working, but all I think it did was kick my hair out and keep it out. But, I suppose I should wait it out a year and see results (if any?)? Would a trip to a doctor be in order? Should I perhaps start using Rogaine in my daily regiment? I already use Nizoral shampoo once a week. Thanks you so much for your replies, I really appreciate it!!

I'm 22 and I started taking Propecia in July. I've taken it every day (though I admittedly have missed a couple) and while I started with a full head of hair, and it still is full, I STILL notice overall thinning. Now, I know I'm supposed to experience shedding, I guess I am? Why should my hair, after 6 months, still appear to be thinning? Should I continue to use it? Does it take longer for some men to see results? PLEASE help!! Thanks!!

Hello, I'm new here and this seems like a really great board. I really appreciate the openness of the members here, it's very helpful!! I started to notice my hair thinning around where I part it on the side when I was 21, about 9 or so months ago. My hair has always been uncharacteristically thick from people of my nationality (German). The kind of thick where it wouldn't stay spiked without mega-hold Elmer's Glue!! My father has a full head of hair at 56 and his father didn't lose his until his 50's, and my Grampa on my mother's side is 86 with a minor bald spot and a receding hairline. My Uncles on my mother's side lost their hair later in life, around mid-thirties, and I just found out that one of them had Hair Transplants. So, I always thought I was pretty set when it came to my hair, and I always appreciated it and enjoyed it. Everyone thought I was crazy when I'd ask if it looked thinner, and until very recently did a close friend finally confess that yes, she could tell a difference. With outside confirmation, and finally not thinking I was crazy, I went to my doctor and he confirmed that my WHOLE CROWN was thinning. He then prescribed me Propecia, and I'm aware of the side affects and haven't experienced any and it's been almost a month. BUT I was starting to notice A LOT more scalp in the back of my head, at first (before Propecia) it was just the top I was concerned with. Now, I've read some stories on shedding, is this true?? I don't have anyone else to ask about this so I'd greatly appreciate some help!! Thanks!!
