i know that it isn't the proper discussion forum to enter this thread but it is about health and i suppose that a lot of men have issues about shedding hair and going bold.i have several questions.i am on propercia finasteride 0.5 mg everyday and started yesterday and i use the spray rogaine 5% minoxidil every night for 7 months now.at the begging i saw an improvement from 136 hair /cm**2 to 192hair/cm**2 in 4 months but even with the use of minoxidil somehow i reach a plateau and started to shed hair for 2 months now and i suppose that i am at 120-140 hair/cm**2 and i took the decision to start combining finasteride in my routine.i am aware of the sideeffects but i am on this drug for 1 day so it is too early to tell and the dose that i take is low.0.5 mg but efficient.
question:1)is it normal to reach a plateau with minoxidil and starting sheding hair even with the usage of minoxidil?
2)how many of you have ever tried propercia or another A-blocker pill and for how long?what were the side effects and how long did it take to become normal again after stoping medication?

i don't want to go bold because i am quite young 21 years old and i think its awfull at my age and i am trying to control the shedding for some years until hair transplantion becomes really improved!
