Do I Have Reflex Hypo? (Support & General Discussions)
Post reply

(Skip to the end if you don't want to read this whole crap)

So I am starting to think I have reflex hypoandrogenicity as a result of taking propecia (1mg)... I am also on revivogen (starting at month 1 in the timeline below) and use the hairmax laser comb.

Here is a timeline of what happened to me on these products.. anyones input is greatly appreciated.

0-1 month - decreased libido. There was a week in here where my wang didn't work at all.
1-2 months - Decrease in hair loss, actually saw some hair growing at the temples (it is still there today, all across the front of my hair line I see hairs trying to come in). BACNE. lots of back acne.
2-4 months - Spurts of shedding and horrible horrible itchyness.. one in particular at 3.5 months and another around 4 months. Chest hair thinned out, but an INCREASE in libido around here.
4-5 months - shedding tended to drop as did the scalp itch; though my scalp does tend to itch everynight... not terrible, but it is there, and I am still losing about 100 hairs daily. At this point my entire head is drastically worse off than it was when I started. The only noticable hair growth anywhere on my head is just along the very front at the hair line. The back acne is also mostly gone at this point.

Additional/Recap
-------------------------
There was no increase in oilyness on my face or head... but I should point out I use nizoral/tgel alternating daily to prevent itchyness... so that could be drying out the oilyness the hypoandro is producing. I do also wash my face every night with anti-acne neutrogena crap.. but I've been doing that for ages and ages.

All things considered, my head and face seem to be dryer than before I started this stuff.

No increase in body hair, actually a decrease in chest hair density.

Libido dropped initially and wang stopped working, but then wang came back and libido increased...

My question boils down to the following...
I have shed a disgusting amount of hair since I started this treatment... I am at month 5 now and see VERY LITTLE of this hair coming back (and let me point out that the vast majority of the hairs being shed are NOT weak little dying hairs...). What are my chances? Am I totally screwed or what?

5 months would be a stupid mark for dropping out. You should wait another 2 months I think. The most important thing is that your libido is untouched.
If things don't improve within 2 months, maybe you should consider switching progressively to naturals (sawpalmetto, nettle root, pygeum).

personal opinion drop prop immediately
then again i am not a prop expert
i had a big shed on nizoral cream, dropped it after a week of shed, then it grew back but took about 6 months

now this has absolutely nothing to do with propecia since its not prop but i hate things that cause sheds,

the niz cream though, regrowth, my hair does seem a lot stronger now, and thicker in front where i applied it
i have heard too many stories of sheds on prop, some that did not grow back

sucks , its a bitch, this hair loss thing
