Sorry guys, I posted this in the wrong forum, hopefully it will get more views here: Well, I was on minoxidil about a year ago for a few months. I noticed that the hairloss almost stopped in the shower after 3 months or so. I stopped minoxidil due to side effects, but have started Propecia. I'm...

Well, I was on minoxidil about a year ago for a few months. I noticed that the hairloss almost stopped in the shower after 3 months or so. I stopped minoxidil due to side effects, but have started Propecia. I'm just starting month 3, and the hairloss is still the same as it was before (lots of hair...

I've been on Propecia for about 3 months, and I'm noticing headaches sometimes, and a feeling of slight lightheadedness (not serious, just a weird feeling). I stopped minoxidil 2 months ago because it was giving me a skipped heartbeat. Could it still be a lingering effect from minoxidil? Or does...

I'm starting my 4th month this week and the past 2 weeks or so, I've been noticing headaches on and off. Anyone experience this?

Hmm, I was hoping it would be at least slightly better than 1 ml/day. Do you think there is ANY benefit to 1/day? Also, what about it I put on 1 ml at around 7pm when I get home, and then another 1 ml at about 11pm when I go to bed? Too soon together to make it like a real 2 applications/day?

Do ya'll think that 2mg once a day will be close to as effective as twice a day? I can't stand putting it in my hair in the morning and facing the world.

Well, I've heard two different stories on the effectiveness of splitting Proscar. One side says that since you are not getting a perfect split of .1/day (i.e. .8mg one day, 12mg the next), it is not as effective as Propecia with a steady 1 mg/day. The other side says it really makes no...

Showmehair: I didn't mean heartburn. I was experiencing a rapid heart beat and skipped beats. I wouldn't stop it just from hearburn. But a skipped beat is scary :)

I was on minoxidil for about 8 months with pretty good results. But then the side effects of skipped heart beat made me stop. Now my hair is falling out to the point where people who haven't seen me in 2 or 3 months are looking hard. Now I started Propecia. Do you think using minoxidil 1X a day to...

Is the 2% less greasy? My main complaint besides the heart issue was how shitty the 5% made my hair look, so i switched to Dr. Lee. Also, does the 2% cause the same dandruff problems?

I was on minoxidil for about 8 months with pretty good results. I recently had to come off because the skipped heart beats were just not going away and my Doctor said to stop the medicine. That was about 2 months ago or so, and I'm starting to see the fallout. I just started Propecia and am...

HairFreak: And is there some kind of oversight agency to ensure what you are geting is legit?

Yes but everybody is affected differently, and I'd rather not have to take the risk if I can avoid it. Has nothing to do with being a pussy, especially considering there is *nothing* to be gained by upping the dosage.

Hey..haven't been to this site in a couple months. I was on minoxidil, but I was noticing a moderate heart beat skipping, even after reducing the dosage to .75/ml 2x a day. Now I'm considering Propecia, since I can't take the ugly truth of baldness. I've seen generic Propecia on some websites. Is...

I took 3 days off minoxidil last month (had a chick over for an extended period) and didn't apply because I didn't want her to know, plus didn't want to deal with any dandruff. Now a month later, I'm noticing significantly more hair coming out in the shower than usual. Is is possible that those...
