Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted January 30, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2011 Why are you only taking 0.5 milligrams of propecia per day and not the usual 1 milligram per day? I think you mentioned you were taking the medication for only about one month, which would lead me to believe that you are experiencing the initial thinning phase from the medication which many people experience which is normal. You need to take the medication for at least 6 months before you'll start to notice any changes, and about one year to truly notice any hair regrowth. Consult with the doctor who gave you the prescription for the medication. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.

Senior Member mattj Posted January 31, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2011 It does sound like the perfectly normal but understandably terrifying shed that most Propecia users experience. It can scare some users into quitting the medication but in the vast majority of cases the shedding stops within a month or so and the hairs grow back. Does your hair feel very dry? That could possibly be the nizoral. Not everyone can tolerate nizoral, which is quite a harsh shampoo. It's meant to combat dandruff but when I used it my scalp and hair became very dry.

Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted January 31, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2011 0.5 milligrams of finasteride should be ok, but it will most likely only keep what you have, but not regrow any hair with only half the dosage. That being said even with 1 milligram it's not guaranteed to regrow hair, but a good amount of people see a positive change. Again it's very early on, keep at it for 6-12 months and see how it progresses. I am a consultant for Dr. True and Dr. Dorin. These opinions are my own.
