Regular Member kumar84 Posted December 14, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi guys, I have been using propecia(0.5mg mon/wed/fri) and minox once a day from last 2 and 1/2 months. I lost some hair during the shedding and now it steadied a bit. I read in some forum that it regrew the hair for some and for some no regrowth just accelerated their balding. So did any one had this experience with the fin and minox ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member qwerty Posted December 23, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted December 23, 2015 I never really had any big sheds nor had it accelerate balding. I have read where others claim it accelerated it. Not sure what to make of it, but never had issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted December 23, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 23, 2015 Generally speaking, the shedding induced with the "initial" use of both finasteride and/or minoxidil can be a good sign that your hair follicles are responding to the medications. A fair number of guys experience the same thing. The shedding is usually a confirmation that a fair amount of the hair follicles have moved into the dormant resting period. They will rest for approximately 3-4 months and then enter the next growth phase. So although it will take some patience, the hair will come back and sometimes there is also some new growth especially with the use of minoxidil. I assume that you are using these medications under the advice and supervision of your doctor and suggest that you provide this feedback to them. Hopefully after the next growth cycle you will also experience some stabilization of your hair loss...
