Regular Member 1.8t Posted June 7, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted June 7, 2007 I have been on propecia now for right at 3 months. I never really noticed before, so this could just be me acutally paying attention to my hair when I never did before, but I think I am experiencing the "shed" that the propecia is characteristic of. The only reason I might say this is because the hair I am losing is dark, healthy looking hair. Now, I know under MPB, that it gradually diminishes your hair to a clearer, shorter form of its previous condition until it is invisible. So, does this seem to hold some merit? I can honestly say that it seems my hair loss since starting propecia has definitely increased on the top of my head. I can run my hand through my head and almost everytime 1~3 hairs will come with it with almost 0 force. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated....current meds are Propecia and 5% Minoxidil.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted June 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi Don't worry shedding is a common ( and good sign). It means the hairs are cyling through the growth phases.. Unforunately, with hairloss, it gets worse before it gets better ( HT's, meds) Be patient JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Regular Member 1.8t Posted June 24, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 24, 2007 One more question. The hairs that I lose ALWAYS have that little ball on the end of them(I guess this is the root?). What does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
