Bought my Proscar today

[Curious_George]

And i feel nervous starting up on it. We know this is intervention with the body's hormonal controls but I figure it's less intrusive than a surgery and if it works without side-effects (in conjunction with Rogaine foam), would yield me benefit for the next 4-5 years.

 

Question - should I start off or wait for my Rogaine supply to come in (within the next 2 weeks )

 

Thanks.

 

PS: Anything else I need to know before starting?

I would use the foam wherever you have hair loss and not just the crown as I and several others have had growth on our entire head from the foam/Propecia combo.

 

I use it from hairline to crown and a bottle of Foam lasts me about 15 days so don't try to use the reccomended dosage because that is to cover the crown only.

 

Thanks.

 

About what time should I expect the dreaded shed and how long does it last?(on average)

Curious;

 

Maybe you'll be lucky, as I have been, and won't have any shedding. With that said, if you use the search feature above I think you'll find an interesting thread I remember which said it can start at 2 months and last for three or four months.

You're a lucky SOB.

 

How long did you say you've been on this regimen?
