    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    I just wanted to update y’all. The big sheds still continued on and off. I think it’s stress related. But my overall hair density has remained the same or improved on the top. In the front? A little thinning, but as we all know, the front is the harder part to keep, so I was expecting that. I...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    i agree with everything this guy said but especially this. Since I have been doing my “bathroom sink shed combthrus” and really focusing on how much hair has come out, I’ve gotten really stressed about it and my heart starts pounding with anxiety when I see all the hair, and my mind runs agog...

    sorry to hear that. What a similar case we have. Tell me about your shedding and has it caused a noticeable change in how your hair looks? A year is a long time to shed. What is your regimen exactly? I too, got an occasional “ache” but I can’t be sure it was related to the finasteride or not, but no...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    My hairloss was minor when I started - mostly a receding hairline and in the top front corners. I started finasteride off-label and minoxidil out of the bottle (eyedropper) af the same time. Foam wasn’t invented yet :) Went with just the 5% twice a day until I learned about Dr. Lee 15%. I used...

    Isn't Dutasteride Just Better Drug Than Finasteride?

    What is the current dosage for japan and South Korea? Does anyone have a link to a monograph for this is a drug in English. I need something I can bring to my doctor, I think he will prescribe me off label, but I need to show him what the dosages are officially Currently on finasteride for...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    I know I might be being a diva, but I’ll get my hair cut this Thursday and re-post and see just how massacred irs gotten with the latest sheds. I might also increase my ketaconazole to daily as it could be a scalp issue. Anyway, I guess the reason I was posting now was because - well, other...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    All over the scalp. The hairs are not small or thin - they’re regular size generally. I have a requisition to check my TSH counts (thyroid). I am getting it checked Thursday. I am generally in good health, but did undergo weight loss in December which I heard can be a factor. I think I am...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    Also, please see these pics. This is the first time I’ve taken pics like this so excuse me if it’s bad. I hate pics of myself, is there a better way of taking these? Also, please bear with me as you’ll notice the area of loss is small - this is the likely result of me keeping most of it using...

    Massive Shed After 10+ Years On Big 3

    I’m 40 and wondering if I’m just starting to lose the battle. My regimen: - finasteride 1-1.25mg for 10-15 years (no sides luckily!) - various rogaine formations - 5% foam for morning and minoxidil max 10% at night - nizoral/regenpure shampoo alternating. I am starting to get massive sheds...

    I'm done considering them as an option then. I already went ahead and ordered DualGen. Who'll bet that Minoxidil Solutions will be dead within a year or so?

    I think I am going to give Minoxidil Max 15 a try. I like that I can get a 60 ml bottle at a lower cost to try it out before spending $100 on something like Xandrox. Although consistency isn't too big a deal for me, I am finding that as I used the Perfect Image more and more, the stickyness of...

    Yeah, I guess at the 5% level the quality is more assured. Not only is that a legal FDA dose, it's also too little to really mess around with. Whereas with the 15% solutions there could be a little more variability. Consistency and viscouscity of the 15s have never been an issue for me because...

    Thanks. I haven't really seen anyone coming out in support of them. At best, I've seen neutral commentary. Unless I can firm up the quality with a solid set of praise, I'm going to avoid. I really don't like the consistency of the Perfect Image 15%, but I do trust it.

    I know. I just don't want to get this new Xandrox and find out that it's pough and that I wasted $100 on it. I won't know if I am comfortable with it unless I try, but I also do not want to try until I find out more info. When someone has a 90% positive feedback rating on eBay, that is not good.

    Hey all I can't believe there's not more commentary on Minoxidil Solutions considering they've been around for a few months now. I really need some advice on this. I want to order Xandrox but I'm not convinced the quality is going to be the same. I have emailed the company twice on eBay and...
