Senior Member dakota3 Posted May 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 This is a personal question and one you may only want to answer to urself but have you been experimenting with drugs? The reason I ask is that when I was young I experimented with drugs "particuarly extacy" and I had rapid hairloss. When I quit taking the drug my hair grew back and got thicker. Of course as I got older my hair gradually started to fall out again but this time it was due 2MPB and it was a slow process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancingdildinos Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 im clean when it comes to drugs and booze, while in college i only experimented with marijuanna and salvia, but only tried it once or twice, and sorry i dont really have any pictures, but its the classic horseshoe pattern.

Regular Member lovestospoon Posted May 14, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 Get a check-up with a doctor. If he says its MPB then I would get on Propecia asap as well as using the Rogaine. My Hair Loss Weblog - Hair Transplant with Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ceasar08 Posted May 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 Questions: 1. Do you have a lot of hairloss in your family? Do your relatives have aggressive and advanced staged hair loss? 2. Has your thyroid been checked? 3. Did you start any prescription or over the counter drug in the past year? 4. Did you have any sort of surgery in the past year? Don't start anything before getting checked out by a doctor. Hairloss that is so rapid could be telogen effluvium due to a number of factors. In that case, it may actually recover naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Ceasar08 Posted May 14, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ok. If it's in the family then unfortunately, there's a pretty good probability it is genetic hair loss. Definitely get a work up from a doctor and see a good dermatologist before doing anything. You never know when you could be among that 1-2% that has something else going on. Make sure you don't have any other symptoms of thyroid and that you go to someone who knows a lot about the different blood tests to take. Also, there are over the counter drugs that can cause hair loss (not just prescription). If the loss is due to stress, it would typically be some sort of trauma that took place 3 or 4 months before the hair started dropping. Listen... good luck. Propecia with Rogaine can work very well on recovering recent loss. Keep us updated -- we are here to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Scorpian Posted May 14, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2009 I agree. GET ON PROPECIA. I was just like you when I was 17-18. Hairloss hit quick and hard. I waited until I was 21 to get on Propecia. At the time I was trying Avacor, but that didn't really do much for me. Propecia will slow hair loss, especially in the crown region. Get on it and stabilize your loss for a couple of years before you consider other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
