On 11-2, I reduced finasteride from 1mg to 0.5 mg, and tried emu oil at night. On 11-3, noticed reduced shower sheds, and dramatically reduced daytime sheds. Upwards to 100 hairs come out per day all over my desk and keyboard, but on 11-3, hardly any came out. Today is the same story.
My initial thought was that emu oil is helping to manage the dryness from the minoxidil, reducing shed. But is it possible that reducing the finasteride contributed tp reducing shed? Or perhaps the emu oil was irrelevant, and it was the reduced finasteride that reduced the shedding?
This doesn't seem likely to me, but I pose it in light of all the propecia shedding reports we have, including my own. I began shedding about 7 days into finasteride, (massive shed within 14 days) but I cannot attribute these sheds entirely to finasteride. I am also on minoxidil 5%.
