Second Shed with Minoxidil.Freaked out please help

[scarednow]

I am a newbee here and let me tell you this is an amazing site.

OK now please help me guys.I started Propecia in december 2004 and had great results till september 2005 when i started shedding again so in november 2005 i started Minoxidil and after a seriously bad shed I was not losing any hair and my hair thickened but by the end of may this year I started shedding again.Is this normal.Things have improved abit in the last 3-4 days but the shed is still a lot more than a couple of monhs ago.

Is a second shed common after 6 months.How long does it last.Or maybe Minoxidil does not work with me anymore.Please help me out guys.

PLEASE

i had the same problem. initial shed, regrowth thicker than its been in a long time, only to shed again around month 5, month 6. I have yet to see substantial regrowth after that last shed 3 months ago. ill give it more time i guess

I had one this past winter that lasted at least 6 weeks and has since grown back in thicker and fuller. That was not my first shed and it began about 4 weeks after I increased my dosage of minoxidil.

YAAAAAHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOO

After 2 months of 20 hairs on the pillow and 20 on the shirt and so many more during the day.I finally have seen 3 days with virtually no hair on the pillow and minimal hair on the shirt.

I still see some hair when I shompoo and when i comb it for the first time but it is so much less.

The dreaded second shed finally seems to be over.Thank God for that and thanks to everyone here who encouraged me.Hope someone facing the second shed sees this post and relaxes.

Hope I am not getting my hopes to because it is still there while shampooing but .....
