Hello, all. So I've been on Finasteride 1.25 mg every 2 or 3 days and minoxidil 5% once a day for about two years now, and it's worked wonders. I started with a more rigorous regimen at the beginning, but as time went on, lessened it both for cost reasons... and, well, being lazy, really. So it's not surprising, I guess, that I've begun to lose ground. My hairline (a solid Norwood 1.5/2), which had made great strides, has started to re-thin. I immediately panicked (as we do) and went back to 2x daily minoxidil, 1x daily finasteride, and Nizoral 1% shampoo 3x weekly. This was almost a month ago.
My question is this: Is it reasonable to suspect that the increase in treatment is causing a shed? I'm noticing hairs all over the place in bed, on my computer, etc. I have already been using these products, but will increasing them: a. give better results and b. cause this secondary shed? Because I certainly hope it's just not all losing effectiveness....
