Regular Member tooyoung Posted May 19, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2008 Im one month in to Propecia/Minox. I experienced rapid loss, and got one both right away. I think Im shedding but not sure since im a natural blonde and have always shed a good amount naturally. My question is, is this in my head or is it possible to begin shedding this quickly into the meds? Im 25 and am barely noticibly thinning in mid to front of scalp. Also, seems an appropriate time to start a survey. When did you start shedding on meds, and how long did it last? Also, if you got good results, when did you notice them? thanks for any input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txgrower Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I started shedding around a month and stopped at 3 1/2 months. Don't worry too much, when I started I freaked out and almost stopped, I'm glad I stayed on it because now my hair looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member anonymous man Posted May 26, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted May 26, 2008 Here is my question: Is shedding temporary? I mean, is miniaturization of your follicles as a result of using propecia simply temporary, or is that it - you use propecia - it kills off a good lot of hair, before it starts doing its job of simply keeping what it hasn't destroyed? Or will I be pleasantly surprised, and will my hairline restore itself to pre-propecia use (i.e. 5 months ago)? I ask this because I feel my hair has become noticeably thinner in the past 5 months. Any advice on the shedding phenomenon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
