i have been very slowly thinning in the temples for around 10 years (35 now) and just recently started thinning like crazy in the middle hairline.

i had been on several oral antibiotics for the past 2 years with no loss at all and this sudden burst of loss started shortly after i went off the medication. coincidence or just nature catching up with me?

well, i was on quite a few to treat breakouts. doxycycline, tetracycline, and trimeth to name a few.

Antibiotics don't have hair loss as sides effects.It migth be just a coincidence and nature is catching up.Propecia and Rogaine or Hair cycle shampoo could help at this stage to slow down the process.
thank you.

thanks for the opinion. i got on propecia right when i noticed the increased thinning. i've been on it for about 3 months so far

Hi,

Have you seen any slow down in your hair loss since taking propecia?

hmm....hard to tell really. i don't see as many hairs around as i once did. i still have this itchy, tingling sensation from time to time. i'm sure that's where i've been thinning and that seems to have subsided since on the meds. i'm not one to count hairs; ignorance is bliss in that respect

i thought hair loss was supposed to slow down by the mid 30s
