Hey guys,
Ive been lurking for awhile but not posting much. Over the last 2.5 years, my hair has been falling out in the shower. About 1 year ago, it was coming out in gobs, and I was really getting worried. EVery day more seemed to fall out whenever I would rub my head or comb my hair.
I went to a Dr and got prescribed propecia, took it for about 3 months, and didnt notice much change, although the side effects were too much for me. Depression, felt dizzy, lazy/apathetic, big decrease in libido .. so I started taking 1 every other day, and slowly quit over the next month. To me, it wasnt worth the side effects.
Well now 3 months later, my hair not falling out as much, but I still feel spots that are thinner on my head, and have recession (around a NW2 or 2.5) .. It only falls out now when I wash my hair, every 2 or 3 days usually, and about 50-75 hairs if I had to make a guess. Should I pursue some other kind of treatment ? Im very cautious about some of these treatments though as Ive read mixed things about results/side effects. Thanks in advance
One last thing, I was looking into rogaine and on the box it says 'not for receding hairline' ...? Is it more for loss in the crown?
