@icecold7 I was completely stable with my Hairloss. But since I am on seti (first oral 2g for a month and now since a month topical 5%) I have a lot of shedding... The strange thing is that the moment I got on seti I feel this itch on my scalp which I haven't had for years. I can definitely say my hair is way worse than before.
Mine is definitely the same, hopefully it's just a shed, which may be a good sign except I'm only on 1.2g a day.
Thanks for sharing. Anyone else notice a significant and/or prolonged shed when starting seti?
Shedding itself is not necessarily a bad thing. Other proven effective treatments like fina and minoxidil cause shedding at first. What you're trying to prevent is the miniaturization of the follicle. There's certainly no scientific reason why seti should make long term hair loss (the miniaturization) worse. However, what concerns me is that the rate at which I'm losing hair hasn't subsided four months after first starting on the seti, and I'm noticeably thinner on the front, back and sides of my head. For me, it's hard to parse out a shed caused by the drug and normal hair loss.
Did you take any castor oil or do any dermarolling at all?
I have not done castor oil, dermarolling, PDE2, etc. Just the Seti and minoxidil. Overall, I'm mostly focused on maintenance rather than regrowth.
