36m ok so back in summer 2024 I noticed my widows peak thinning (felt like it came outta nowhere) also center part showing more and overall just less hair could start seeing my scalp alot more and when I grabbed it to put up in man bun thing i could feel just lesss and less thickness but no shedding .atleast not noticeable,.and to clear up my bun was never tight or pulling at all its just kinda up in a clip Ioose.
So went to dermatologist and got on propecia October 2024.1mg daily after a few months i started oral minoxidil with 1.25 then few weeks later 2.5 then to 5mg then ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE! soon as I went up to 5mg minoxidil my hair started shedding like crazyyyy.i called the dermatologist and she said thats the initial shedding that means its working and would stop in 2-4 months..it didnt..6 months in i couldnt take it anymore and weaned off slowly and the shedding slowed down but did NOT STOP..
Now its been about 8 months since then and its still shedding sooo much..the whole front of my head is completely thinned out.its horrible! I dont even want to leave the house. so im still on the propecia about 17 months now ..what the heck is going on?!?!?!? I never even had shedding before I started either of these medications. I dont expect the propecia to grow hair back but its suppose to stop the hairloss. how is it still getting soo much worse ? am I propecia non responder? did the minoxidil start somtin thats never gunna stop? please let me kno what you think
.Also I dont know if this is needed but about 5 months into propecia and at the very start of minoxidil my mother was in a accident and passed away .1 month later my 4 year old boxer had a freak accident and passed away. I went threw major stress trauma as my world was turned upside down I was fully dependant on my mother ..her passing was always my life worse case scenario we lost practically everything and living on very little now so the stress/trauma is still going strong every day. thnx for
