First the good news. Its been a while since I've visited and that is because my hair is doing much, much better now. So to those guys who get depressed reading all the negativity on the boards, just remember that all the success stories no longer need to linger around which is why this place can seem like nothing but bad news.
Anyway, I've been on a stict daily regimen of:
1mg Propecia
GNC MegaMen
1500mg GNC MSM
Nizoral (Mon, Wed. and Fri.)
T/Gel (all other days)
It's a pretty simple regimen and I've since noticed that my haircount (lost in the shower) has dropped from 40-50 (and sometimes much more) to 5-10. I dont recommend hair counting, but this has been the only way for me to gauge my shed progress since I'm too lazy to take photos.
Anyway, my advice is this:
STICK RELIGIOUSLY TO YOUR REGIMEN.
I've been on Propecia for just over 3 years now. About 5 or 6 months ago I started to notice my hair was much thinner than it was a year before that and I got worried. I thought the Propecia had run its course and was no longer effective. Thats when I came here.
What I didn't pay much attention to at the time was that I would occasionally skip a day of finasteride here and there. I would forget sometimes and once and a while skip two or three days in a row. Real bad.
Recently, I went away on vacation (happy with my hair looking so good) and I skipped a few days of my finasteride. Real bad. I noticed over the past few days after having been home that my haircount (lost in the shower) which has consistently been 5-10 for the past 3 or so months multiplied tenfold. A huge shed. It has since subsided, but I can only come to one conclusion:
Skipping a day or more of your finasteride regimen can bring along some bad results. My suggestion (as stated before):
STICK RELIGIOUSLY TO A REGIMEN
Anyone else notice that when they forget their finasteride for a day or two that they experience increased temporary sheds?
