to Sadie... (Rogaine, Minoxidil)

posted by nat, 09.06.2008, 13:22

Hi, I was reading through the forums and came across your entry. I am 32 and my hair is thinning. I noticed you are young as well. I am using Rogaine 5% and spiro (twice a day) and I take biotin vitamin. It is too early I guess to tell if anything is helping. I am going into my 5th month of spiro and it doesn't seem to help the shedding. The first three months I was on a low dosage and my derm just upped it. She said I could try advodart next if this didn't help. I am discouraged like a lot of us. If only my hair would stop shedding at least mentally that would help. I am wondering if the spiro is making it worse. What are you taking now? Have you come across anything that has helped?»
